New flute enthusiast w/ a problem...*puzzled*   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #343 of 456 |


Hi everyone out there!

i'm gonna take flute lessons soon, but dunno what kind of flute to
buy... As a beginner, would it be better to invest in an in-line or
offset G flute, open or closed holes, or a flute w/ or w/o the E-
mechanism?

My gosh... there are so many kinds out there & i really hope to put
my money to good use. it's really ex, but learning to play the flute
is a dream i wish to pursue, erm, at the expense of my own
allowance.

Thanks for any advice given!

Cheers,
Dorcas

Ditto to all the advice so far (well most of it anyways!) I play on an inline G and don't have any wrist hand problems - it's like everything - if it's done...

If you plan on playing seriously do not get the keys in line. It can hurt you hands badly. Open holes help improve your tone and encourage proper technique. I...
