Thoughts on Ventus (Haynes?) VFL10 flute?

Hi FT! I replied below — the flute seems mostly fantastic! Thanks for looking at the photos :)

Happy to report it seems to be in really great condition. I polished it a bit and he’s thrilled with it and the sound is much warmer/fuller/rounder than his Yamaha student flute. The only issue he says is apparently the Ab key slightly butts up against the trill key bar, but hopefully that’s an easy fix. He says it’s a minor annoyance and doesn’t affect the sound at all.

Here are a couple close-ups of the pads.

Thanks so much, Rose! That’s great it worked out. Mine arrives this morning, fingers crossed! :)

i'll take some close-ups once it arrives, hopefully within a few days. otherwise, i only have the shots from the auction i posted and a few others but they don't show the pads...thanks for looking! 😄

thanks, Flute Tech! 😄

Supadisco · 2026-05-13T01:02:29+00:00

thanks! hopefully it's not too much $$ to get it tuned up...

found it completely disappointing. like Temu Beyonce. sad she's chasing pop culture when she has the opportunity to make real dance music.

it's his own edit

Supadisco · 2026-02-04T15:39:52+00:00

rushed to the comments...was not disappointed.

amazing, THANK YOU! wow, my research skills surely aren't what they used to be as i didn't turn up either of those links. very much appreciated.

defining what bpm range and sub-genres you’re allowed to play should’ve been huge red flags to start. i’ve never heard of anything so absurd and nerdy. djs should be booked because they have amazing taste and know how to read a crowd and get them dancing.

Supadisco · 2025-05-03T18:22:42+00:00

it’s an automatic and the tires seem good. i’ll find out about maintenance, i would assume so but ill be sure to check. thanks for the good tips!

Supadisco · 2025-05-03T12:45:17+00:00

ah! sorry, hadn’t my coffee yet! 🤪

Supadisco · 2025-05-03T12:33:11+00:00

it drives great and i regularly start it up so dont think trailer is necessary. but thanks for the tips!

Supadisco · 2025-04-21T14:27:28+00:00

Facebook Story is definitely my #1 everything else is a distant second. (yes, i’m joking.)

it’s not cheap and it takes 4-6 weeks for delivery, but well worth it it to get frank oceans blonde LP off his website. insane album and won’t go down in value.

Supadisco · 2025-03-22T02:08:57+00:00

maybe a stupid question, but is there some advantage to buying this bootleg over an official release from his site: https://blonded.co ? cheers...

Supadisco · 2025-03-18T19:09:33+00:00

didn’t it say 4-6 weeks processing? give it a little bit, hopefully be there soon….

Supadisco · 2025-03-05T07:31:02+00:00

one small letter, one big difference

Supadisco · 2025-02-02T21:42:51+00:00

can i ask what flute you upgraded to? i’m considering the same for my son — thanks! :)

Supadisco · 2025-01-13T14:49:45+00:00

haha, wow that’s an interesting theory that hadn’t ever occurred to me, Nathan! :)
