We stock Hammy Hamilton practice Flutes at competitive prices for the complete beginner. These have been specially designed by Hammy to introduce beginners to flute playing without a huge outlay of money at the start. Later progression to a wooden flute is made easier because the finger holes & spacings remain the same.
