If the B key has a plug in it, then it's open. I have never heard of a B key being open; usually the only open keys are A, G, F, E, and D. That would be very strange. But, if there's a plug and you can take it out, it counts as open.

What kind of flute are used in school bands?

Most students in middle school and high school use student flutes. These are very simple, sterling silver flutes that have decent sound quality and ditch the fancier features (open-hole keys, B flat foot joint, French pointed arms, etc.) to make the flute much less expensive for those who just want to learn how to play. You can buy these from pretty much any brand, but the most popular student flutes tend to be Yamaha or Gemeinhardt. Other brands include Suzuki, Jupiter, Cecillio, and Armstrong, but I personally have not played these nor seen them myself and cannot give an opinion on them. Bundy student flutes are also good for those who don't plan to play flute professionally. For a more mature sound, some flute players will purchase professional flutes for recitals, concerts, and solos. These "pro" flutes tend to be pure silver and open-holed; some come with a B flat foot joint (which extends the flute's lowest note from C to B flat), French pointed arms, a gold lip plate and/or a gold coat on the inside of the headjoint (which gives the flute a warmer, richer sound), and other various features. These flutes are for the more serious players and would be recommended to those in upper-level high school bands that play college level literature. Brands that sell quality professional grade flutes include Pearl and Gemeinhardt.

Where can you find flute?

I suggest going to a music store, and talking to a professional. DO NOT GET IT OFF OF eBay! It could be damaged! The person at the desk should give you a fingering chart and tell you about where you could take lessons if you are a beginner. If you are playing in a school band they should have a system for you to rent. But first, are you right for the flute? Only a professional in person can tell you if you are or not. Or are you looking for a B foot flute? If you are a beginner and your flute has holes on the keys I suggest buying plugs as it is very difficult to play. Do not start out with a B foot, you should wait until you are more serious about it. When you do get a B foot, you will have to get a new case. Be sure to talk to a professional about taking care of your flute! Have fun! Source(s): Band Geek :)


Is rossetti flute good?

Based on some quick research: no. A Rossetti with open holes and a B foot is under 200 USD. Coming from a good, legitimate Flute producer, a flute that like should cost at least a few hundred more than what a Rossetti flute costs (probably near 800 USD+). Rossetti flutes are mass produced in the East and is made out of cheap materials. For cheap, junk instruments, you will have a very hard time finding the parts to fix it. If you are looking for a decent student-intermediate flute, look for a reputable brand, ask for professional opinions, a second opinion, and always make an effort to play-test and instrument before you buy, especially if it is more expensive. Different people have different preferences. Some reputable flute brands are Yamaha (Allegro series), Powell (Sonaré, signature series, conservatory models, ect.), Gemeinhardt, and Pearl. There are others but that is a good starter list for you.
