I have been offered a virtuoso student flute?

[karenshorey]

This flute has been offered for my 8 year old daughter. Will this be any good for her?

Is 'virtuoso' a brand name or a description given by the seller. If it's the former, I've never heard of it. If the latter, you need to look/enquire more closely.

Are there any markings or engravings that will give you a clue to the make? How much is the seller asking? A good, new flute, will cost anywhere between �200 - �300. Secondhand, you could get a decent one for about half that. Makes to look for are Buffet, Yamaha, Jupiter, Trevor James etc.

Have a look here for more information:
