Omg! I went to all county band practice and this guy (who goes to my school but is in AMS) had the mos AMAZING flute EVER! 1)Open-holed. 2) had a b-flat foot joint. And 3) *tears up in happinees* it was gold. :') it was so beautiful and sounded soo good. (Open holed does and gold, omg, just even better tone) i almost fainted xD then I saw my $350 (cheap) silver, closed holed, c foot joint flute...
