Relearning at 66

I bought this to replace the Armstrong Flute my mom bought me in about 1971! I am relearning to play after all these years. This has really helped me to get better. The tone is clear, everything moves smoothly that's supposed to move smoothly. I am really enjoying playing and practicing.

The McKenna head joint was a significant reason in my choice of the North Bridge 500

The McKenna head joint was a significant reason in my choice of the North Bridge 500. Additionally, the flute sits well in your hands, has a very responsive mechanism, and has a wonderful tone.

I love it. The tone is great. The hand made head piece is perfect. I would highly recommend this flute,
