Im looking into buying a flute for the first time and have a pretty limited knowledge of different makes. Just wondering whether anyone has experience of amati and can give me any info on them? The model ive seen is an AFL211.
Thanks for any help!

there is also an amati flute afl232, is similiar to other flutes but with open keys (French system), offset G, split E key. If you want to start off, then you should just use a regular flute, and if you can, i suggest to go to your local store and rent one, and try it.
