Flute John Packer JP011CH Offset G with Split E and Case

The JP011CH transverse flute offers young musicians greater flexibility thanks to the inclusion of a curved head, which they can start learning with before switching to the straight version. Includes case.

Designed for students who are just starting out on the transverse flute, the JP011CH has all the necessary features for the first years of learning. It is a full-size flute, made from a very resistant and light silver and nickel alloy, ideal for not damaging the posture of young students, but with adequate dimensions so that they can easily reach the key mechanism.

This model features a curved head that reduces the dimensions of the flute, making it easier for players with shorter arms, and which can be replaced by a straight head once they are comfortable playing in its straight configuration.

The John Packer JP011CH flute consists of just two sections (apart from the curved head), which allows for easier and faster assembly, minimizing damage caused by use over time. Its scale, as it is an instrument for beginners, is small.

The misaligned keys are in G and allow a very ergonomic position. The E mechanism, which is used to play the high Es, is also easily accessible. The sound of the flute is very pleasant and easy to achieve even for first-time players, which gives extra motivation to practice and progress.

Anyone who has purchased a JP011CH recognizes that it is a good investment in terms of quality - durability - price, with all the features necessary for young students, who thus have an excellent first model to last for years before moving on to a higher range. The bag has a sporty look, which gives it an even more relaxed look.

The flute is a fascinating instrument, belonging to one of the oldest families of instruments, thought to have emerged in the Stone Age, and to have spread across all cultures. The transverse flute appears in orchestras in the second half of the 17th century and is normally given prominence as a soloist.

Composers such as Claude Debussy dedicated pieces such as “Syrinx” to him. In the 20th century, the transverse flute found space in musical genres as diverse as jazz, by Herbie Mann, or in progressive rock, as in the case of Jethro Tull.

Recommended for young students, the JP011CH has a very long expected period of use. It is an instrument with great sound quality and construction resistance. Includes a case to transport, store and protect the instrument and accessories.
