to be clear, that's $2800 just for the "vertical adapter" bit. Flute not included!

- lisper 4y agoYes, exactly. If that were the price for the whole flute that might make sense. But just the adapter? That is just ridiculous. It's the monster cable of musical accessories.
- joppy 4y agoThe headjoint of a flute is a key part which significantly affects the sound quality and timbre of the instrument - it is by no means an “adapter” to the rest of the instrument. It is common in fact to buy flutes in separate pieces, with the body by one manufacturer and the headjoint by another. And $2000 for the headjoint and $4000 for the body (Australian dollars) would be a pretty standard price for a good-quality student flute which would see someone through a performance diploma.
