Beginner flutists often find student and beginner flute models
easy to maneuver and perfect for learning. As they advance
in their flute-playing journey, they can upgrade to
professional flutes.
Many beginner flutists are children with small hands. For these
young players, the best instruments are beginner flute models
with curved headjoints. These flutes extend players' reach, so
longer hands are not needed. Beginner flutists with short
hands can easily play these instruments.

3. Student model flutes typically feature keys with plateaued or
closed holes, which facilitate easier playing. The different
design of the keys will significantly impact the resulting sound,
which is one of the compromises of playing on a student
model. A serious player who has been using a student model
flute for some time will eventually upgrade to an open-holed
flute for better tonal quality and intonation control.
