First Flutes

A student’s first flute should have closed hole keys (called plateau style) and an offset G key. This accommodates the smaller hands of a beginning player.  All first flutes chosen by BMC feature nickel-silver alloys to produce a superior tone at an affordable price and are silver plated to provide protection for those with the common allergy to nickel while providing a beautiful finish.

Step-Up Flutes

Intermediate model flutes offer the durability of a student instrument yet have the sensitive response and accurate intonation of a professional instrument.  Step-up level flutes are almost always open-hole flutes, which create a warmer, cleaner tone (Hole-plugs are included for use while learning).  Most will also come with a low B footjoint.  Many students at this level have acquired enough experience to be ready to improve their sound with a solid sterling silver flute.  All upper-level flutes chosen by BMC feature solid sterling silver headjoints.  Some intermediate flutes also feature solid sterling silver body and footjoints, which dramatically increase the tonal quality of the flute.

Professional Flutes 

Professional instruments are an investment, and professional flutes are no exception.  All pro flutes are French-style flutes (open-hole).  Professional model flutes typically feature an undercut embouchure hole, low B footjoint, and gold springs.  Several options are available for a professional flute; such as a gold-plated lip plate, an offset G key, and heavywall body thickness.  Our upper-level flutes are aimed at the discerning, advanced player.

Testimonials

 

  "Both of my children took instrumental lessons at BMC. We have been customers for many years and always receive warm, courteous, and knowledgeable service!" -Sandra, customer

"I love my flute teacher. There couldn't be a better match for me personally. All of the staff are really nice and helpful, whether I'm ordering a special Christmas ornament or a music book. It's just an overall comfortable place to be." -Lynn, adult student

"I do want to say that throughout the years working with BMC, EVERYONE I have dealt with has been the friendliest and most cooperative business person I could hope to meet. Thank you one and all for your positive outlook on all things musical!" -- Sue Cryan, Music Educator, Hartford CT

"I have found Bethel Music to be tops in repairs and service. I have worked with them for over 14 years. Great service and quality equipment." --Tom Miner, Band Director, Stamford CT

"For many years our New Fairfield instrumental students have enjoyed the fair prices, good instrument advise, in-house quality repairs and full pick-up & delivery service that Bethel Music Center provides. I especially like the Buy-Back program!" -- Diane King, Band Director, New Fairfield CT

"Bethel Music Center has become my life line in my teaching career here at Khartoum International Community School in Sudan. The friendly advice and quick service both in instrument repairs and book ordering has been a big help in keeping my music department functioning in a city and country where these resources simply are impossible to find locally. A recent example of this service was with an alto sax band book that I had forgotten to order in a very large book order. In desperation, I sent an emergency email to see if it could be sent electronically. The mail system here is not reliable or trustworthy enough to send items. Within a couple of days it was sent and the band could continue! Of course, I have purchased the books by credit card but this added flexible service has helped to keep my band program functioning. Well done!!" -- Robert Denzel; Music Teacher; Khartoum, Sudan

"Sofia LOVED the music lesson - Bruce taught the lesson (we heard he is one of the resident brass teachers!) and Sofia was SO happy when I picked her up. She says that the french horn is the best brass instrument now. Thanks for everything again - it has been a really good day for us because of you all at BMC!" -Kelly C. customer
