I have been connecting people to flutes for 20 years. It has been quite an interesting and life-changing journey. One of the things I get asked the most is how to choose a flute. I have decided to create a series of articles and blog posts discussing this issue. Today I am starting with questions you can ask yourself about how you would like to connect to your flute.
Many people choose their first flute based on the lovely, soothing deep sounds that just reach in and touch your soul and order one online only to find out that it is too big for their hands to comfortably hold for a first flute. While the questions below will give you some ideas about selecting a key of flute, it is also very important to understand how the size and length of a flute will affect your ability to produce quality sounds while you are learning.
Watch for my next article or blog post that talks about choosing your first flute. If you need more help reach out via text or phone to Terry @780-913-2036 or email [email protected].
