What were the manufacturing dates for the Gemeinhardt 52sp flutes? Any differences as compared to the 2sp?

I teach flute lessons, and the flute brand that I find works best (and longest) for flute students is by FAR Yamaha. They have flutes prices in all price ranges. Try the 200 series if you are looking for a beginner level flute.\n\nI have seen bad results with Gemeinhardts, Selmers, and especially with Jupiters and lesser known names. Absolutely, don't buy a flute off eBay!!!

I don't know much about flutes, but do Irish Flutes even have lip plates?\n\nIf so, I would try eBay.  Though, I've already searched the web and it doesn't seem like lip plates exist for "true" Irish flutes.

I play trombone, and I don't see much a difference between intermediate mouthpiece sizes. Between my largest and smallest ones I can feel it, but otherwise, I don't. I'd suggest buying a mouthpiece with a radically different size than what you have. Marching Band usually works better with a smaller mouth piece, while solo and concert work well with a larger one.

Wish I could help but I've never heard of it. If you have any serial numbers on it sometimes you can figure out when it was made.

I agree you should post this request on EBay to see if one shows up.\n\nOf course, you can always buy it new...\n\nhttp://www.rmlearning.com/auditoryprocessing.htm

Wow - I just did web search for "Gibson Banjos." Do that first.  You may want to just contact the Gibson Banjo Company and see what they say.\n\nYou could also probably get an appraisal at elderly.com - Elderly Instruments.  You may want to email photos of the banjo to them and a history of the instrument.  Maybe call them first.  You could browse through their vintage instruments for sale.  (Why on earth would you want to sell the banjo?!) - M

If it is more than 100 (1845-1871) years old it was built in Boston, Mass.  Otherwise ( and more likely ) It was a Chicago based company made by Straube, at Hammond, Ind.  (1895-1949) Do you have a serial # or any other info?  And I wouldn't consider it rare besides the fact that many of them have since been destroyed probably.

Do you mean "nasard"?  That's an organ stop and a type of flute sound that is more harsh and is actually created by combining several ranks of pipes into one sound - five pipes sounded for each note pressed.  \n\nIf that's what you're talking about, it wasn't an actual flute.\n\nI had a graduate course in the history of musical instruments and that's the only thing that comes to mind.
