Usually the lowest pitch of the flute should be middle-C, but some flute will add a bit longer and so resulting a Lower-B at the bottom, and its sounding will be lowest at B not C only.

Thanks.  I'm going to buy a flute and have to decide whether the one with Lower-B is better.  I've checked with the teacher that Lower-B is not used frequently, therefore, I'll buy one without.

well.. I just know usually Flute learner start with Yamaha YFL-221. They said Yamaha Flute are good and stable for flute starter.

But of course, if you have enough $$, I will consider another better model at YFL-421 or so.

Goody

Is using YFL-221 already and changing to higher model one.  Will go for a brand name called Altus which according to the teacher is better than Yamaha.
