John Packer Flutes and Piccolos

JP111 Flute

'JP111 student flute is the equal of many of its more expensive market rivals. It is a warm-hearted and toned instrument with a rich creamy sound; it plays both evenly and well in tune. In my opinion this flute is not only very good indeed; it is also, quite simply, terrific value for money!'

Michael Cox - Principal flute - BBC Concert Orchestra

JP114 Piccolo

'Amazing!!!

Every young flute player usually ends up wanting a piccolo. The choice on offer is nowhere near as big as with student model flutes -
Yamaha YPC 32, Jupiter 303S, Hardy and Gemeinhardt are the most popular makes of piccolo available and cost between £350 and £450. Quite a lot of money for such a tiny instrument. But now a new piccolo has arrived on the market which will delight young players,
their teachers and, most definitely, their parents.'

Liz Goodwin - Flautist, teacher and Editor of Flutewise magazine

JP214G Piccolo

A full round tone in the bottom octave, and ease of articulation is the mark of a good piccolo - this one passes with flying colours! In
fact it's pretty responsive all over apart from the top, top B - but hey, who wants to hear that note from choice anyway? At £199 RRP,
this comes in at less than the price of a repad - I think I'll have 3!!
 
Mike Mower - Session player and composer

The 214G Piccolo is base on its counterpart, the 114, but has a gold plated headjoint. This is not simply a cosmetic affectation as it also adds an element of warmth and maturity to the sound. Beyond that, it is of the same specification as the 114 and the comments above apply just as much to this instrument.
