Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does a B foot do?
It extends the range one semitone lower, to B below middle C. Some orchestral parts require it. It also adds a little length and weight to the instrument.
02Is inline G harder to play?
For many players, yes. The left ring finger reaches farther. Players with smaller hands often prefer offset G.
03Is this a beginner flute?
No. It is a step-up instrument for players already past the basics.
04Is it open hole?
That is worth confirming with the seller before ordering, since it changes the fingering feel considerably.
