Beginner Flute with straight head joint

This is also a wonderful flute for teachers to purchase and rent to their students. When students rent instruments from a music store, parents often end up paying close to $900.00 for a beginning flute that does not play as well as the Blocki Flute. Recently a student finished paying off her flute and was offered the opportunity to put that money towards a step-up flute. Unfortunately, they offered the step-up flute at MSR price which was $800.00 more than what they would have paid for it if they had just purchased the step-up flute without applying the rental money!!
