I am considering learning to play the flute and want to buy a good flute that will last. Would it be too hard to play with an open hole model?
YES YES YES and YES!!!! Learning how to play on an open hole is like learning how to ride a 10-speed bike with out training wheels! One should always start out on a student flute and student flutes are not open-hole. The purpose of open-hole flutes are to get a better sound for those that are more advanced. When you are just learning how to play, you should be more concerned with learning how to play the notes than the sound. First of all, you have to put your fingers on the keys a certain way and with an open-hole, your fingers have to be perfectly alligned over the holes so there are no leaks and if you learn wrong, then you’ll have to re-learn the right way and that’s not fun. I didn’t think I was holding it wrong until I got the open-hole and found out that my fingers were in the wrong place because I couldn’t cover the holes. So, I had to re-learn it all over again, and I had already been playing for 4 or 5 years already! Besides that, open-holes are usually more expensive, anothe
