Ben Jamin Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Also my friend was looking into buying a new flute for uni the other day - why do the more expensive metals like silver give 'the best' sound, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1340459694' post='1704740'] [b]But does world class marketing make for world class products?[/b] I'd be more impressed by endorsees if they didn't get any perks and spend their own money buying the product they're endorsing. After all, we all the endorse the stuff we buy, don't we? Pay people enough and they'll say anything - ads are full of examples and it all means diddly-squat really.

There seemed to be an obsession across most of the brands with silver sounding amazing though, but at no point was it explained why! I mean, they look prettier, sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Flute metals: silver definitively sounds better than cheap metal. However, gold does not sound better than silver in many people's ears, including mine. Gold flutes (not 100% mind ya) lack overtones and have a "round" and dull sound. SIlver sounds more characterful and "rounded rectangular". Silver's good tonemetal. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlungerModerno Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hmmm. I bought a planet waves instrument cable.... Read it after I bought it, has 'oxygen free copper' . . . I'm not pissed. It was what they had in stock, and it wasn't insanely dear (10' for about 12 Euro) and does have good connectors. I look at others reviews, and the featureset, as well as warranty details. Returns options are also cool (Barefaced Bass!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
