All flutes have a lip plate and riser to blow across. The material they are made with can make a huge difference to the sound of the flute.
Most student flutes have historically only had silver plated lip plate and riser, but now quality student flute will often have .925 silver plates and riser.
Simply, pure silver would be too soft and easily damaged. When 92.5% of pure silver is mixed with 7.5% of other metals (often copper, nickel or zinc) the resulting alloy is called sterling silver. ... In other words, .925 is the same as sterling silver, but not solid and therefore no stamp.

Choosing the right PA system for your event is about matching the size of your venue, the number of people, and the type of sound you need. Here’s a simple guide to help you select the right system from our range.
Small Venues (up to ~50 people)
Ideal for small meetings, acoustic sets, or speeches. Our SubZero SZPA-410 or Yamaha DBR10 systems are compact, easy to set up, and provide clear sound for smaller rooms.
Medium Venues (50–150 people)
For medium halls or larger function rooms, we recommend systems with larger speakers and multiple input channels. The Yamaha DBR12 or SubZero SZPA-412 deliver enough power for speeches, music playback, or small bands.
Large Venues (150+ people)
For larger indoor events or parties, our high-powered systems like the Yamaha DBR15 provide full coverage and balanced sound for bigger crowds. The Yamaha Stagepas 1K MK2 is also perfect for solo performers, singer-songwriters, violinists, acoustic sets, and small ensembles — providing clear, high-quality sound without taking up much space.
Most of our PA systems can be enhanced with additional items to suit your event:
These extras let you tailor the system to your event, whether it’s a small speech, a DJ set, or a live band or solo performance.
| Event Type | Venue Size | Suggested Systems |
|---|---|---|
| Small speech or acoustic music | Up to 50 | SubZero SZPA-410, Yamaha DBR10 |
| Medium event, music and speeches | 50–150 | Yamaha DBR12, SubZero SZPA-412 |
| Large indoor event, live band, solo performer or DJ | 150+ | Yamaha DBR15, Yamaha Stagepas 1K MK2 |
PA Delivery Guide
For smaller items, we use Parcelforce to ensure safe and reliable delivery. Larger PA systems are quoted individually and are delivered on a tracked van, complete with driver tracking for peace of mind.
While timed deliveries and collections are usually possible, we recommend allocating a full day for delivery and collection to ensure everything runs smoothly and your equipment is set up on time.
Hiring a guitar from us is simple and flexible. Choose your instrument, select your hire dates, and we’ll deliver it on the first selected hire day using Parcelforce, ready to play on arrival.
All instruments are fully checked and carefully packed before dispatch. During the hire period, we ask that the instrument is looked after and used responsibly.
If any damage occurs, or if the instrument is lost or stolen, please contact us as soon as possible so we can advise on the next steps. Depending on the circumstances, you may be responsible for repair or replacement costs, but we’ll always aim to handle any issues fairly and reasonably.
At the end of your hire, returns can be arranged via Parcelforce collection from an address, or the instrument can be taken to a Parcelforce depot. Most Post Offices will also accept Parcelforce returns, although some smaller branches may not accept larger parcels, so it’s worth checking in advance.
If you have any questions at any stage, just get in touch — we’re always happy to help.
