CHOOSING YOUR
FIRST FLUTE

Small players may need to consider a curved headjoint or even a year on a fife or G flute before the stretch to a full size flute. Beginning on the straight flute too early can make holding the flute difficut, progress slow and dissapointing and cause physical strain to the neck, arms and back

Curved headjoints are an effective way to solve these problems. We are happy to help your young player find the best solution for beginning their flute playing

Significantly higher amount of money back!
