Any good Flute VSTs out there on offer?

[Philip G Hunt]

I'm looking for a particular sound.

A 60/70s flute sound

Think of Serge Gainbourg Melody Nelson era.

Anyone know of a 'reasonably priced' kontakt instrument?

Much appreciated.

Some good ones at Embertone, ImpactSoundworks and Orange Tree Samples.

I like the Stefania Maratti flute from Fluffy Audio, and there's a sale on at Fluffy now.   Really nice sound and easy to play.  They also have a flute freebie.

If you're looking for a jazz/rock flute, then  Orange Tree Samples' Passion Flute is designed to be that.

Agreed, Reid.  OTS Passion Flute offers a lot of depth.

Wasn’t familiar with your original reference so had to look it up.  My palette is probably too sophisticated for this forum. I see you meant in the style of the greatest flutist of recent times - Ron Burgundy

I don’t know this person but randomly ran into this ad.  Seems they have OTS passion flute at 50% off (private sale).  It’s been a couple of months since it was posted. Assuming it’s still for sale, make sure it’s legit.

Forgot about the 8Dio Claire Virtuoso. Not the Soprano but the Alto. Simply sublime.

I read that their (soprano) Flute got updated recently.

I haven't tried it yet.  Middle  C a up to an octave sounds like an oboe.   There was a recent discussion on Vi Control on the sound.  This was actually pointed out over 10 years ago.
