This flute has a nice appearance and not much air is required to play it. You can easily achieve four half steps above the octave. However, I would not recommend it for a beginner. I have 17 flutes. This flute required more practice and breath control than most to keep the low notes from jumping around. Once the flute and I understood each othera very emotive voice was achieved.
