Boehm System Flute FAQ:
What is a B footjoint? A B foot joint extends the range of the flute and means that this flute can play a low B in addition to the standard C# and C. The lowest note you can play with this foot joint attached to the flute is the note B3. Whether you play in an orchestra or are exploring solo repertoire, advanced flute players will frequently come across musical passages that require this low B. The additional weight typically alters a flute's resonant characteristics, adding depth to the lower register as well as an overall mellowing of the tone, including in the upper register. If you’re an advanced student who's serious about your flute playing then a B footjoint is the next step for you.
What is an offset G? A flute with an offset G means the G key, operated by the left ring finger, is off centre and not in line with other keys. Because this finger is shorter than the middle finger it is more comfortable and ergonomic for this key to be offset, making it easier to reach, than if the key was inline (keys all in a straight line). This makes an instrument with an offset G key easier to operate for players with smaller hands. What is a split E mechanism? A split E mechanism increases the stability of the flute's third register E, helping to produce a stronger tone and improving intonation, and making the note easier to produce by closing certain keys on the flute. What is the benefit of open holes? Open holes achieve several things. They offer the player a greater tonal variation, allowing for the playing of micro tones, multi phonics and slides - techniques which commonly feature in contemporary or jazz music. It is typically recommended flute players move to an open hole flute from Grade 6 upwards. Closed holes are preferable for beginner to intermediate flute players. The McNeela Open Hole Concert Flute comes with tone hole plugs to facilitate players making the transition. Good to Know:

I love this flute. I play on a praise band and it fits so well with the other instruments. The tone is so sweet! I have small hands and it’s so much easier to play than my other flute!

Avant de donner mon avis j'ai voulu prendre le temps de bien me familiariser avec cette sublime flûte. Maintenant, je peux affirmer que cette flûte est vraiment géniale. La sonorité est chaude et généreuse, les aigus facile à atteindre. Les mécanismes des clés sont très bien équilibrés ce qui permet un jeu fluide et agréable. La boîte de rangement est de très grande qualité, très belle...ainsi que sa sacoche en cuir ou simili cuir (je ne suis pas bien sûr). Je recommande cette magnifique flûte pour son qualité prix inégalable. Bravo McNeela !!!!

Lovely good quality flute with lovely tone. I found I got used to not having the plugs in very quickly as play lots of different whistles. I also found B foot joint very useful. A very good flute for the price.

A magnificent instrument this "Magnifica" is! A joy to play, I can't recommend it enough. If you've been learning for a while I promise you will not regret buying a flute like this. Prompt delivery (arrived in just over a week) thus the service is commendable, I spoke to them prior to ordering. The wooden box is a thing of beauty too! Even the case is a testament to the high-quality craftsmanship of McNeela Instruments. Now onto the lessons! I was astounded by the depth of knowledge imparted by Tom Doorney. From the basics of Irish flute playing to advanced techniques, I found myself learning quite a few extra tips and tricks that make it very much worth while. The flute itself has a spectrum of tonal variations that were never possible for me on my old flute. The split E mechanism make the note easier to perfect and offset G was an additional surprises that made playing so much more comfortable, especially given my smaller hands. I'd highly recommend this particular flute.
