What is your preferred beginner flute brand/model?
My preference has always been Yamaha 262, but my local music rep told me that Yamaha flutes are going to be extremely hard to get this year and I need to come up an alternative in probable case that they don't get any.
My preferred requirements for a beginner flute is that it is "off set g" and it is "open hole"
I’ve been using Di Zhao flutes the past several years as my preference. They have a reasonable priced open hole silver plate flute that has been goood.
Pearl 505RBE is my other go to, but they may have supply issues too.
