Susanne u r like me.
I put a vandoren b45 mouthpiece on my armstrong student and it sounds pretty good. Armstrong flutes were known to be strong enough to hit a cricket ball with, and I feel the same amount the armstrong key work. It seriously has taken a battering from my stduents (the original reason I bought it was so my students could touch it and experience it first hand, not just in a theory book).
But as u say u r already a musician, I would suspect if u buy one of those, within a few weeks u will want something better. At least, I lasted 9 days before I realised I eneeded something better than the armstrong. Still deciding though!
The amatis are a good price for what u get. Depending on the nzd though. The lyriques get amazing reviews here, and u could get one in c, and not have to deal with ruining your perfect pitch (if u have it that is!)
The hansons from England also are very highly spoken of on here, and depending on the current nzd to gbp exchange rate, they can be very cheap for what u get relatively. I am seriously considering a Hanson atm...
The aud is so poor atm, which is my only hesitation.
I did get a buffet e11 in C, but it has been a nightmare, and I wouldn't recommend them based on my experiences with mine...
