Flute Jargon Buster
Split E Mechanism:
A mechanism that makes the E3 note sound a lot more solid. This is particularly useful from about the second or third year of playing - not usually found on entry level flutes, but is on both flute models below.
Solid Silver vs Silver Plated:
While silver plated offers a great price point for beginners, a flute with solid silver components gives a much better tone.
Pointed Key Arms:
A great extra which assists the flute in sealing correctly, ensuring the flute stays in adjustment for longer. Both flute options below have pointed key arms.
