Overview

A straight headjoint and a silver plated body define the Gemeinhardt 2SP, a student flute that has been a standard choice for beginning players for decades. Each one passes two tiers of magnehelic bench testing, and it comes with a case.

Dealers and educators have steered beginners to the 2SP for years, and Gemeinhardt's bench testing backs that reputation with quality control. The listing is thin on mechanics, giving no word on hole style, footjoint or key layout.

Who it's for

School band beginners and their parents get a widely used student model with a case and a long warranty. Advanced players looking for a step up instrument should shop a higher tier.
