Here may be the best place, Brenda. Quite a few doublers are frequent visitors and may have the advice you're looking for. My personal experience with the well known auction facilitator has been... not great, but pretty good. If you do your own repairs you can make some fairly good deals there.

If you want good ol' down to earth discussion about flute playing, Gordon also offered a great post about that - truly, a doubler's delight

Maybe someone has the link, I don't at the moment.

If you're considering a purchase I think the same advice holds true for new flutes as to clarinets. Don't bother with those *new* ones offered at very 'reasonable' [cheap!] prices. There's a lot of cheap junk out there :( I've been pleased with the results I've had with student models Bundy, Vito, Haynes and Artley. Opinions may vary widely....
