When buying a student flute a common question is should I get an open or closed hole flute. At first the closed hole flute will be easier, but there are advantages to moving up to an open hole flute. The main benefit of an open hole student flute is sound. When you lift any finger off an open hole flute the key is vented, and the pitch created produced is quicker versus a closed hole student flute.

Glissandos, or doing pitch bends by sliding your finger over the holes of the flute, is possible with an open hole flute. Many jazz, contemporary, Latin and even popular tunes use this effect. Also, for the more advancing student, there are more alternate fingerings possible with an open hole flute, for better pitch and control.

Many student flutes with open holes already come with removable plugs that can be easily popped out when you become more proficient on an open hole flute. You can still find a cheap flute or discounted flute with open holes, and it can quickly turn out to be a most versatile student flute.
