NOTE: Persons with smaller hands may find it a challenge to properly cover the finger holes on any Low D flute, but you can with practice. A helpfull method is using the "Piper's Grip" which I will show on my Learning to Play Page.
Additional Notes:
BEGINNING PLAYERS: In all honesty, if you have never played a transverse (side-blown) flute before you won't be able to just pick it up and play...unless you were a flute player in your past life. But if you have the passion and determination to learn, you will play, and the satisfaction of that accomplishment is awesome. There are techniques which will help speed up your progress, some I will attempt to post on this site. The rest of what you need to know can be gained from internet searches or a good teacher.
