My personal favorite would have to be the Muramatsu with the wooden headjoint! I’ve now seen a couple people on social media trying out the hybrid flute and would love to hopefully try out different types at NFA later this week🙂

The air stream is very focused with almost no air spilling over the mouthpiece... and so, air is not wasted... allowing for good durations without breathing...

Appreciate being able to hear a wooden flute(s) in comparison for a metal one. The wooden headjoint is quite interesting, very nice tone

I honestly could not hear a difference. She had her own beautiful sound evenly on them all. To my ear at least

Of course it is subjective, but I definitely prefer the sound of the wood flutes. I found the Powell to be clean, and honest sounding. Great job katie.

The wooden flutes have such a rich tone. 😍⌚

I love the wooden flutes -- beautiful with a very "old-fashioned" sound. My daughter has decided she wants to join the band and play the flute next year. She found your videos and I approve! Pop gave her Grammy's flute, and she is teaching herself a bit. It makes my heart happy! Thank you for your videos.

Wood on silver is very charming! The silver alone sounds more muscular, but with the wood headjoint there is a sweetness. I thought both sounded better than wood alone.

When first listening I couldn’t tell a difference but I realized that the higher notes on the metal sound brighter and the lower notes on the wood sound strong and full

I love the silver flute, but the wooden ones, especially the Powell, sounded otherworldly, which I really, really loved. And the wooden head joint on the silver flute was beautiful!

The Powell sounds it fits you good you sound amazing with it

My favorite was the Muramatsu with the Mancke Headjoint!!

I loved Sankyo much more because: I think it has more resonance, better articulation and you can phrase longer. Even though I could notice you were a bit uncomfortable playing it, it really cached my attention. It has some cualities that stand out from the others. I was very impressed.

Sankyo is close to the sound of a baroque flute.. probably becauseof the absence of lip plate and its wooden body.. tone is so soft and illuminating.

Hi Katie. Nice demo. I do think that the silver flute with the wooden head joint has a good warm rich sound at the lower end of the 1st register. Lovely quality. Very nice resonance. Great vid. Thanks. I think I will get myself a wooden head joint. Hooray. 😊😊😊😊😊

Yes Bohem did create a metal flute in 1847. But the Bohem system with metal bodies took a while to become the norm. They were first adopted in the Paris conservatory around 1860 and they spread even slower in german speaking countries. Rockstro even wrote in 1889 that they were rare in Gemnany and that England was filled with hybrid systems. Trying to compromise between the new and the old sounds. So the wooden sound is perfect not only for baroque and clasical repertoire, but even for the whole 19th century, with exeptions on French repertoire.

Except that is is Boehm and not Bohem. Boehm did develop his own fingering system for flute. And also on other wind instruments: for clarinet and Oboe. On a clarinet you can have the French Boehm system or the German Oehler system.

@@tenoreDB Sorry for the spellingmistake ! English is not my first language but yes he should be spelled like you said. He did not develope the systems for the clarinet and the oboe. The systems were inspired by Boehm and bear his name, but he did not make them. The Boehm-system for the clarinet was developed by Klosé and the Boehm-system for the Oboe was developed by Triebert though that is not the standard today.

i felt the sankyo, despite comfort issues, outdid everything. lush tone.

I really liked the Powell as well. Sweet and well rounded tone.

Simply, wonderful!

aah i love the powell flute! also thank you for playing one of my favorite songs. we played jesu for one of our band concerts!!

The muramatsu with the wooden headjoint sounds soooo good

Tough call, but if you forced me to choose, I'd pick the silver one! The wooden ones sounded almost breathy--almost! The silver had a clear, pure tone. I know some people think they are gimmicky, but I'd love to hear you play a crystal flute and give us your thoughts/opinions on it. 😀

I don't know what it is with us flute players that we automatically start "sweeping" with the music, like you just can't sit still with your flute while playing, but I think it's beautiful and is a beautiful way of putting your whole emotion into it

The Powell is definitely my favorite! I think the sound is so sweet :) I'm also a little biased because I've tried a couple of the Powell wooden flutes and have loved them!

All perfect, very clean sound ...

It’s always been on my list to play a wooden flute! The sound is just heart warming

I just love the warm earthiness of the wooden instruments. Have you ever played any end-blown flutes such as Bulgarian kaval or Turkish ney?

I really like the Powell-such a nice tone 😊 But I really liked the idea of the wooden head joint too!

Her breath control is beyond amazing!

I was most impressed by the Sankyo wooden flute. What an amazing sound, and your technique is flawless!

I love the Powell flute! It has such a sparkling tone.

As someone who knows a bit about Irish flutes, but next to nothing about orchestral flutes, I was surprised how much the wooden ones sound like metal ones. There is a difference but not massive. Irish flutes with the simple fingering system sound very different. I expected that to be due to the wood but apparently not.

Light articulation goals 😍😍 we love you queen (also the Mancke headjoint sounded so beautiful)

As a former woodwind instructor, listening to you is a pure joy!! I did favor the Powell...LOVED the richness!!😁

in my opinion the sankyo sounds most like a wooden flute, but i like the powell flute more because i think it has the perfect combination of sounds. also, the wooden headjoint with the muramatsu gives the flute a nice wooden feel and sound as well

Absolutely love your videos and your instagram. Just heard your interview. I enjoy how REAL and relatable you are. Which is hard to find on social media when everything is edited to no end. I’ve been interested in the Mancke headjoints. This helped me decide! Thanks

Hearing all of the different timbres is so fun! I've never played a wooden flute and I want to so badly!!

I choose the wood Powell.. it's very focused, has greatest resonance, and has most colour produced.

Wow the timbre of the wooden flutes. Incredible! So different to the metal I wasn’t expecting to notice such a change

Those wooden flutes are flute-tastic!

Fell in love with the Powell 16013

I liked the powel and the last one, well that's from my point of view, because I'm a French Horn player, not a flute player. Congratulations and thank you very much Katie, we will have two videos per week.

I definitely prefer both of the wood flutes. However it is had to tell weather I would like playing them myself because you are such an amazing flute player, everything sounds good when you play it

Katie I love your sound... the instrument is one thing... but your sound is impecable. love it.

Very interesting video!

I think the wooden head joint added a beautiful depth to the Muramatsu. I May look into trying one on my flute! I agree that the Powell wooden flute had a clearer and brighter sound than the Sankyo. Thanks for the demo!

I personally liked the Sankyo for the Bach Excerpt. As far as the other excerpts, I could tell you were much more comfortable on your usual set up so it was hard for me to tell what I liked sound wise. However, after thinking about it, I really liked the muramatsu with the wooden head joint the best. It gave the sound dimension that you just don’t get with a full metal set up making it much more interesting to listen to.

Once I noticed the difference, I cannot get over the fact that metal flutes have metallic sound, louder but less warmer than wooden flutes. I like the warmer sound of wooden flutes.

For performing 18th century music, I much prefer the traverso to the Boehm flute. For later music, the Boehm system rules, regardless of whether wood, metal, or plastic. Love the one-keyed flute.

I love the sankyo flute

Oh, I LOVE the Murumatsu with the Mancke wooden headjoint

It still has a bright modern flute sound, but with a mellow warmth.

I absolutely love the nice soft warm sound of a wooden flute, but I also love the bright clear sound of a metal flute. The combination of metal flute with wood head joint doesn't have the best of both worlds for me, but it does have a beautiful unique sound of itself. My absolute favorite are the silver flutes though.

3:15 it’s literally a large piccolo 😂

The Sankyo stands out in upper-register-sweetness.

You're amazing!!

I liked the wooden sound of the Muramatsu with the Mankyo headjoint the best!

The Powell sounded beautiful with you. I also liked the Muramatsu DS with the original headjoint.

Thank you for the comparison. Each flute has its strength, but my preference was 1. Muramatsu DS + Manke head, 2. Powell wood (noble body resonance), 3. Sankyo wood (still typical Sankyo sound in wood!), 4. Muramatsu DS. In trying this type of sound, it would be interesting to hear Silver Bernhard Hammig and Yamaha wooden flutes. They both sound really beautiful and noble. (I own Johannes Hammig made by Bernhard Hammig-san, and tried Yamaha at a shop and really impressed).

I preferred the timbre of the Powell to the Sankyo as it was even more mellow. The Muramatsu with the Mancke head joint was fascinating! Also, wasn’t expecting to enjoy your comparisons so much - beautiful playing!

Mancke head joint flute is my personal choice... Excellent video, thanks!

I can definitely hear a difference in sound with the wooden flutes. They sounded more crisp and bold, but just a beautiful. My preference would a tie between the Sankyo wooden flute or the silver flute with the wooden headjoint, but I can understand the situation with the lip plate on the Sankyo one.

I've been experimenting with a Roger Young African blackwood headjoint on my silver Azumi, and the difference in sound, the feeling of the air moving, the sensation of playing is so interesting. I love the way my silver headjoint sounds too, but playing baroque and classical styles on wood is so fun.

I wish I had a sampled wooden flute now sounds so period, instantly makes me think of fantasy - rather than orchestral music

This is the first time I have heard wooden flutes with pads. I love the Powell flute. I found the wooden head produced a more mellow sound and I like the tone. I own one wooden flute and its the only one I have ever played. It is an Irish flute and I have had it for many years. It is a bit old, don't know much about it other than I was told it was rosewood when I bought it, the head joint is brass with wood over the top of it. I think in the key of D.

I love the warm sound of the wooden flutes. Yes the overtones are unmistakable and they sound "old fashioned" and very good in music other than classical music. But I can see why you love silver flutes. The sound is pure and crystalized. It's like pure water on a stream. It is also luminous....

Late to the party but I love the wooden head joint on the Muramatsu silver flute. Just beautiful!

Gosh that Powell is out of this world

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the LefreQue sound bridge. I love the effect it has on my flute and the increased enjoyment of playing.

I could definitely hear a difference in them as well! The first always sounded a little darker, deeper The second always a slight bit shallower and much brighter and louder The third always more resonant, bright and had a very clear tone The fourth always had a shallower sound than the third and slightly more airy and mellow, but otherwise similar. (there's me feeling too lazy to go back for the names lol)

I preferred the Powell myself. But it's entirely subjective. They all sounded beautiful, and your playing was maginificent as always.

I think #3 was the best, because it got a smoother sound out. And when u were going from the higher notes to the notes, the sound came out cleaner.

The immediate attack on the low notes after playing in the higher register seemed better on the Powell (due to the liplate maybe), then on the Muramatsu+Mancke. I've read that Böhm suggested that a metal flute, silver/gold with a wooden headjoint is quite the best combination. I've ordered an Abell flute, for the extra silver band under the D key for extra protection against cracking, and C# key (like Sankyo also offers, Powell not). Lovely video with wooden flutes! I love the mellow and warm sound.

all very nice, even better on traverso

I love that you played the third mvmt from Mozart’s concerto in G, doesn’t get enough recognition

I loved the Powell. I have played the Powell Mopane flute and loved it. I would like to hear you play it in a demonstration. I own a heavy wall DS and really liked how the Manecke sounded.

I felt like the first two wooden flutes “sankyo and Powell “ sounded overall more rounded and better “to me personally. Ur playing is great and amazing as always ❤️

I find that the wooden flutes sound better in the lower register with warm and deep tones, but in the higher registers the pure silver Muramatsu DS sounds absolutely transcendental

That's what I thought too - Powell and the Mancke

I liked the Sankyo the best, it had a more interesting sound than the others, which is something I’m always looking for (in listening, I’m not a flute player). I also liked how the Manke wooden headjoint made the Muramtsu sound a little more interesting.

the sound of the wooden flutes 😮

I liked the Powell best. If I was to get one I'd really like to have that lip plate.

I preferred the sound of the Sankyo wooden flute. Absolutely loved it!

I really enjoyed the sound production and tone of the wood head joint! I can't wait to become a better flautist! Also, what music were you playing? I have a lot more room to grow and I'd love to try to learn some of those pieces.

I liked the Powell flute better of the two wooden flutes, but I think the wooden head joint on the silver flute makes an amazing sound that is warmer than the silver alone, but brighter than the wooden flutes. So, a very nice cross between the two types of materials. I think a wooden head joint would be a great addition to your collection.

The Powell flute is my favourite. I wanted a wooden flute for a long time, but I'm honestly a bit shocked about the prices. I hope, I'll find a more affordable wooden flute for myself.

The wooden headjoint w/ silver flute gave you a lot more flexibility. The lower range of the flute is difficult to master and based on the richness of the lower notes, Im sure you found them to be a little easier. Wonderful combination!

They all sounded good, but I'd go with the Muramatsu, + the wooden head joint. Nice sound. I am saving for a Muramatsu right now! :-D

In the hands of a very specific player, that Powell flute has the confidence and arrogance of Bruce Lee... and will challenge even a flute costing 5 times as much. I saw this happen in a masterclass in Switzerland a couple years ago. Mind-Blown.

The Muramatsu to me had a greater depth of sound and was more resonant - my preference.
