Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The sound is a lot richer on the more expensive one.

I thought it was fairly obvious, to the point where I was sure I would be wrong since I usually "fail" any sort of hearing test.
ETA: That is exactly how I would characterize it Dana.

Yep, I agree. And the cheaper one is noticeably sharp at a few points.
I'm surprised I was able to pick the right one, too.

The student flute is silver-plated brass, while the Brannen would be solid silver (or, as notated, a gold head joint with probably a silver body). The type of metal does a lot to change the quality and timbre of the sound. A good flutist can make a bad flute sound pretty decent, but you can pick out differences across the type of metal no matter what. Gold and platinum flutes are prized for just this reason.

I was figuring that the difference in metal would change the way that the flute held it's tone.
I was surprised to discover that flutes are $$$ier than pianos but it must be the precious metal that is used that makes them that pricey.

Brannen flutes are also handmade from start to finish. I own a Brannen, and it set me back about $9500 (10+ years ago). You can customize everything about it, which only adds to the price. They're beautiful instruments, though.
