Just before we dive into the nitty-gritty of purchasing a flute, probably the best piece of advice I could give parents is to wait until your child can play, even just a little bit, before you purchase one. When buying a car, you look for both quality and suitability and you understand that no two cars are alike.

Hopefully, this guide will be able to take some of the stress out of the process, answer your questions and point you in the right direction. With all the many different makes and models, strange flute terminology, pushy sales people and too good to be true second-hand prices, it can be a challenge just to know where to start.
