Should I get a Pearl 525 flute or a Yamaha flute of similiar quality?

Q: I have looked at the Pearl 525 and it looks like the flute that i would like to buy. But I am not sure whether a Yamaha or a Pearl intermediate flute is better. I am looking for an open holed flute. If you have any other brands, please offer your opinion.

A: Yamaha is more known for their intermidiate flutes and such good quality they are. I personally dont play Yamaha flutes, but only because I have an appreciation of Muraatsu and Powell, but I can tell you that Yamaha is much better quality for the price and last a long time. Pearl doesn't make as fine quality flutes in my opinion. I wouldn't take another person's opinion when it comes to sound-play each flute yourself and observe the tone. Make sure its a sound you adore. :) All flutes produce a different spound whether it be brighter, warmer, more high pitched, louder, ect. Good luck!
