However, I must admit that it isnt that bad. But, I played so much, and after several hours of playing everyday for about 5-6 years, a machine made instrument starts to deteriorate.

When I got it, it was quite nice: shiny, new, etc etc. But luckily, I was a much better player than most of them, so I knocked quite a few socks off when people heard me play. I just know that I was sometimes insecure about my flute before I upgraded and people gave me wierd looks about it. Then it is somewhat okay because you are just looking around to see if someone has a feature that you want on your new flute. It achieves nothing but potential insecurity about your instrument unless you are currently in the market for a new flute. But, unfortunately as human beings we can sometimes be shallow, and will compare instruments. I am not sure that I would like it either. I have seen that Gizmo option you are talking about offered by different companies. My opinion is that they arent very expensive, so why not? My flute professor certainly thinks they help. I have somewhat acidic skin, so the more I can do to prevent tarnish, the better.

But, it wouldnt hurt to keep them in there anyway. My flute is a Miyazawa, and as for the anti-tarnish strips. I played a Gemeinhardt 2sp closed hole for close to 5 years before I got my Brannen. I hope no one is ashamed of their flute not everyone gets the instrument that they really deserve. I'm not sure if I like it or not my hands are really enormous so it doesn't really make a difference. Their newest feature is on my flute(not shown) is a gizmo next to the D# key. No fingerprints show up either ~.^ДЇluteguy - what kind of flute is yours? Do you think those anti tarnish strips really work? I had one for awhile but someone at Brannen Brothers threw it away when I was trying out head joints(the gold lip plate one is actually my second head joint, chose it after trying about 25 at Brannen). e&start=15Д¬oncertino wrote:My pictures are taken without flash, but with a very slow shutter speed. I already uploaded pics of mine awhile ago. It is a Brannen, but the only difference is that instead of a gold lip, she got a split E mech and the lip engraved.

It was everything I could do to keep it playing until I had saved up the money for an upgrade to a handmade flute.Д¬oncertino- Your flute is almost exactly like my 'summer' flute professor's flute. But, it did the job, and I just had to keep reminding myself that there are others out there less fortunate than I am so I shouldnt complain. I know for a while I was flat out embarrassed by my flute because it was tarnished, peeling plating, and not a very good 'intermediate' model in comparison to the majority of 'intermediate' model flutes.

That could lead to someone's feelings being hurt if they are in more modest circumstances than others.
