Flute Buyers Guide
from the MMF! Music Library

Student Flutes
Student flutes are designed for the beginner and are meant to provide an excellent start for the first few years of playing. A C foot is standard on most student flutes while most professional models have a B foot.

Intermediate Flutes
Intermediate flutes are designed for students that have been playing for at least 2 years, and have acquired basic playing skills.

Professional Flutes
Professional quality flutes are designed for the advanced and professional musician. These high-end instruments are recommended for high school students and above. Parents desiring to save a little should start with a student flute and transition into a professional line flute in high school, by passing the intermediate level instrument.
