My DD (aged 11) has been playing the flute for a year or so and hopes to take Grade 1 at Easter. So far we have hired a flute from her flute teacher for £20 per term. Her flute teacher now tells me the flute she is using is on it's last legs and she recommends buying one. She has a brand new Trevor James at £199, which she says is a good price as it is last year's model. She has bought it from Allflutes to sell on to a student and has given us the first option. She needs to know quickly, so she can offer it to another student if we don't want it.
I wasn't planning on spending that much right now but I have no idea whether this is the bargain she says it is. It would pay for itself in about 3 years and we would also have it to seel on if DD loses interest.
Any thoughts?
