How Glass Shape Affects The Flavor of Drink
You might wonder why there are so many different shapes and sizes of glasses on the market today. Not many people think that a drink can't be changed very much by what it is drunk from? Interestingly they can, so lets take a look at some of the more common glass shapes and how they came to be this design.
Whisky Glasses. There is a very good reason why people consume whisky from large-diameter glasses rather than the tall thin variety. Because whisky is often consumed ‘straight’ and not diluted with a mixer (although it can be), the volume of a serving is often quite small. The result of this means that if whisky was served over ice in a narrow and tall glass, the area of the drink in contact with the ice would be quite small as the ice would be stacked up the glass. As ice is necessary to chill the whisky and release its deeper flavors, it’s best to serve the drink in a wide shallow glass where the ice can move around and have more contact area with the liquid, thus chilling the whisky more.
Champagne Flutes.Champagne is traditionally served in a tall, thin flute and there is an interesting reason as to why. As champagne contains lots of little bubbles, it releases a constant flow of powerful gas into the glass as they float up and reach the surface. If the glass was wider then your nose would enter the glass when drinking and the gas would enter the sinuses, having a negative effect on the flavor.
White and Red Wine Glasses. You will find that red wine glasses tend to have a large, deep-bowled body. The wine can really be thrashed about in this shape of glass and this mixing effect not only enhances certain flavours but releases many more aromas into the glass.Additionally, more air-born aromas can be inhaled as the drinker's nose is able to fit into the glass' bowl. White wine glasses are generally smaller and thinner. The reason for this is that white wine tastes better when the flavours are condensed in the glass and the aromas not absorbed so much via the nasal passage.

Answer:
For the C Flute-
It highly recommend any of the following (not in any particular order):
- Amadeus (Manufactured by Haynes)
- Burkart
- Haynes
- Muramatsu
- Powell
- Sonare (they have a Powell head joint)
- Trevor James
It really depends on how much you are looking to spend. Plan on spending at least $1500. You are auditioning for a serious school and need an instrument that will allow you to grow once you are there. If you are on a budget look at the Amadeus, Sonare, and the Trevor James. They should be a solid upgrade from what you currently play on and require few trips to the shop for repairs.
Play the flute before you commit to buying anything (any reputable flute dealer will let you). Play on a variety of styles of music in all ranges. The right flute for you will make you sound good and leave you plenty of room to grow.

Glass Flutes-
I have a Hall Crystal Piccolo in C. It was a gift. It worked fine every time (twice) I have used it to perform. Usually, it sits on a display case in my studio.
