Granted, we don't sell a bunch of flutes.  It's different tools, different skills, and a huge bunch of pads to keep in stock!  We do like to keep a few available for local folks, though.  Let's face it:  renting is a scam.  And since we don't usually list beginner or intermediate instruments here on the website, give us a call!  We probably have a few more in stock just waiting for you and your student!
