The Flute Center of New York sent me a silver flute and a gold flute to test and compare to determine which one is better the silver flute or the gold flute.

Both flutes are professional model Powell flutes that are nearly identical except their silver and gold content (complete descriptions are below).

So, I will play a bit of the Cantabile et Presto, run through some scales, and test the upper and lower registers. All while giving my commentary on what I am hearing.

But I would really like to know what you hear! What do you think about the difference between the silver flute and the gold flute? Which you do you like best?

Have fun!
