Anyone know anything about Flutes?

Well, i want to buy my girlfriend a Flute for Valentines day (and get a couple words engraved on it if possible). Anyway, i know NOTHING about flutes. and i want to spend.. less than £100.

So.. could anyone recommend me, or, ive my any advice about where and what kind of flute to buy for under £100.

And.. would you suggest buying it from Amazon is okay? or should i go to a proper music store?

Thanks very much

Sorry, I don't. All I know is that The Lonley Shephard is the best flute tune ever made.

I highly doubt you can get a decent flute under£100

of course not ;)

100 pounds is what... 150? 160 US dollars? I don't think that's enough to get one of those crappy instruments you see in Target or WalMart. It might be enough for the engraving.

Yes, I was going to say the same thing If I'm thinking what your thinking. Now, as far as to where you can get a flute I wouldn't know. I've only ever seen one.

I know that one time at band camp, some girl stuck a flute in her *****.GAMESHARQ

i'm pretty sure you're gonna have to spend way more than that to get a good flute.

I know the flute is a musical instrument that you blow.

I hope I was helpful in your quest

PM rubicscube, if nothing shows up in this thread. (:BiancaDK

It'll be hard to get a good flute for that price. I mean, the flute I have now retails for over $1,000 and I got it on sale online...for just under $400, and that was a hell of a deal. Proper instruments are rather expensive, even if you find good deals.

I'll look around online and see if I can find anything for the price you've mentioned. If I find anything good, I'll get back to you.

EDIT: Actually, I need to get some information first...

-Does your girlfriend actually play the flute? If so, for how long? Does she already have a flute?

If she doesn't already have a flute, then it'll be easier because you can just get a cheap beginner flute. However, if she already has a flute and has been playing it for any length of time, it'll be a lot harder. Believe it or not, there are a LOT of different kinds of flutes out there...and every flutist has his/her own preferences. I wouldn't trust anyone else to buy me a flute, but then again I've been playing for 7 years or so and I'm rather particular about a few things.

you should get her the didgeridoo, it's a lot cheaper than a good flute.....
