A fantastic value crafted exclusively for Giardinelli by Gemeinhardt.

The Giardinelli GFL312 Student Flute by Gemeinhardt represents a partnership with one of the greatest names in flutes.

Kurt Gemeinhardt's great grandfather was a flute maker, as were his grandfather and his father. A master designer and flute maker himself, Gemeinhardt spent years custom-building some of the world's most sought-after flutes and finally emigrated from Switzerland to Elkhart, Indiana, where he designed flutes for twenty years before opening his own factory. In the ensuing half-century, Gemeinhardt has become the world's largest and best-respected exclusive maker of flutes and piccolos. Over the past several decades, we at Giardinelli have come to rely on Gemeinhardt flutes for their extreme reliability, consistency, great tone, and playability. Drawing on our extensive knowledge of musicians' needs and desires, Giardinelli has commissioned a select few high-value flutes from Gemeinhardt - the Giardinelli by Gemeinhardt Series.

Giardinelli specially commissioned the GFL312 student flute from Gemeinhardt to provide the utmost in craftsmanship and features for the lowest possible price. We're very impressed with the results. Plateau-keys are easier for students because they don't need to cover any holes on the keys. The deluxe sculptured pad cups are designed exclusively for Giardinelli. Offset G key is less stressful and easier for new players. Beautiful silver plating on the nickel-silver body and keys is not only more attractive, but is less slippery than nickel for an easier grip. The underlying nickel-silver structure is very durable and rugged, designed to take the inevitable handling accidents that happen with young players. The keys stay in alignment and adjustment longer than all-silver keys. C footjoint. The GFL312 Student Flute by Gemeinhardt comes with standard case.
