When purchasing this Flute is initially Bachten that the German fingering is no longer used by many music schools. but some primary schools they like to use for the beginner classes, as some handles are easier to learn. Unfortunately this cheap wooden flute from Voggenreiter but has a crucial weakness. The low notes (particularly the low C) are quite difficult to blow and relatively quiet. Especially for beginners this is problematic, because they can not control the flow of air as well. Other beginner flutes bspw.Moeck 1020 Flauto 1 Plus Soprano recorder German Red school speak in all registers to significantly lighter. In addition, it should be noted that the sound of a pure wooden flute is better though, combination flutes with plastic head and wooden body, however, are easier to maintain. Everything therefore recommended in all my opinion is limited.
