Choosing the Right Fingering -- Please Read Before Ordering

This flute is available in multiple fingering systems. Each supports a different playing experience:

• German Fingering (7+1) — a simplified fingering system often chosen for its familiar feel and ease at the beginning stages of diatonic playing
• Choroi Fingering (8+1) — Choroi’s refined diatonic system, designed to improve tone balance and intonation in Waldorf settings
• Baroque Fingering — the standard fingering for chromatic playing and broader classical repertoire

👉 Please double-check the fingering system before purchasing.
If you are unsure which fingering is appropriate, we recommend confirming with your music instructor before ordering.

German Fingering (7+1) -- What to Expect

• Clear diatonic range from c'' to c'''
• Familiar fingerings commonly introduced early
• Suitable for children, teens, and adults beginning diatonic flute work

Some players later choose to transition to Choroi or Baroque fingering as musical range, repertoire, or technical needs expand.

No Toneblock -- Natural Breath and Gentle Response

This flute features a no-toneblock design, allowing breath to flow freely through the instrument.

• Supports relaxed, natural breathing
• Responds well to gentle airflow

Finished with child-safe linseed oil, the maple wood resonates beautifully and deepens in character over time.
