Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Interesting test/comparison: can you tell the $200.00 flute from the $12,000.00 flute?
(I couldn't!)

I could tell that they were different, but I couldn't really say that one was better than the other.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The sound is a lot richer on the more expensive one.

I thought it was fairly obvious, to the point where I was sure I would be wrong since I usually "fail" any sort of hearing test.
ETA: That is exactly how I would characterize it Dana.

The sound is a lot richer on the more expensive one.
Yep, I agree. And the cheaper one is noticeably sharp at a few points.
I'm surprised I was able to pick the right one, too.

The student flute is silver-plated brass, while the Brannen would be solid silver (or, as notated, a gold head joint with probably a silver body). The type of metal does a lot to change the quality and timbre of the sound. A good flutist can make a bad flute sound pretty decent, but you can pick out differences across the type of metal no matter what. Gold and platinum flutes are prized for just this reason.

I was figuring that the difference in metal would change the way that the flute held it's tone.
I was surprised to discover that flutes are $$$ier than pianos but it must be the precious metal that is used that makes them that pricey.
