The Jean Paul FL-220 flute is a beautifully constructed instrument that is easy to play and designed specifically for students who are beginner/intermediate flutist musicians. Power-forged keys on the FL-220 ensure durability and even response while French-style sculptured keys and a student-friendly embouchure plate help make it an easy to play flute with great intonation. The flute's C foot, plateau key-style and offset-G key also facilitate holding and playing for younger students. That's why the Jean Paul FL-220 flute is the best in its class: durability, ease of play and outstanding sound.
