A stunning example of a good first flute at a great price. This particular flute has both a straight and a curved headjoint; ideal for younger players/beginners because it accomodates for a new players' level of ability with the two types of flute heads. The student uses the curved head until they feel comfortable to reach the notes without stretching too hard, then they can move up to the straight head. This means that the child can begin learning immediately, instead of waiting until their stretch is great enough.

The flute also boasts:

• Silver-plated body and mechanism
• E mechanism as standard
• Extremely responsive headjoint
• Excellent for new players
• Yellow double-skin pads with careful attention to the padding process
• High quality mechanism springs
• Hard outer case to protect instruments
• Case cover with strap
• Durable construction - important to new players
