Flute Materials: Platinum

Hi everyone,

In todays post I will be talking about platinum flutes. I'm not going to lie, but these are 'top tier' when it comes to flutes and also the most expensive option.

Pure Platinum
These flutes weigh a lot more than gold flutes, and they produce an even stronger and darker sound. You can either buy a flute that is platinum throughout or a platinum flute with gold/ rose gold. With these flutes, they mainly feature all of the 'add ons' such as D# roller, C# trill key, B foot joint and a gizmo key. They are also a thin walled instrument, due to them being so heavy.

Platinum Clad
This is the cheaper alternative when it comes to platinum flutes. Platinum clad flutes consist of a solid silver flute that has been given a thick coating of platinum. So, you'll still get the feeling and tone of a platinum, but without such a high price tag. Even though, platinum clad flutes are still expensive.
