I've been playing the flute for...a year and a few months(started October 2006) and counting, on a Yamaha student flute.
A few of my friends have been playing for about the same time I have, and they've already gotten low B or open hole flutes. They tell me I should get an open hole one soon.
But I don't know. When should I get a open hole/ low B flute?
Mebbe I'll get a recording of myself soon. Hmm.

Honestly it doesn't matter if you get one or not. Should you play in college you'll need one, otherwise open hole sare a pain in the butt and you'll never see the low B in your music. It's as simple as that. Usually people who have one of those flutes start on it. For example I started on an intermediate Yamaha flute, and when I started piccolo I started out on an advanced wood piccolo. It all depends on what you want to do. Don't listen to the other people. Though you may want to upgrade to intermediate, don't feel intemidated...

If you have a low skill [ not saying you do], it doesn't mean you can't have a really good flute. My parents had me prove I was dedicated before getting me a better flute.[ Pearl brand, Low B, Straight G, Open hole. ] And I disagree, open hole isn't really a pain in the butt. It took me about a day to get it right, and thats just because I went from offset to a straight G key. It shouldn't be based on skill, more on dedication. Do what you want, not what you think you should be doing.

I never said it was based on skill. I was saying your skill level shouldn't determine what kind of flute you use. I now have a crappy flute because my last one got stolen. But that's ok because I now play bassoon during concert seaon and march the piccolo. (I love Piccolo...)
