What is the difference between a modern flute and a normal flute and a student flute?
I’ve been playing for about 6 years and I know nothing about what flutes are good. I bought one on ebay a couple months ago and my band teacher said it was not a good flute because it’s a student flute. What’s different about a student flute?
Also for band I go all the way up to a high c. Like a really high c. My band teacher said that’s the highest note on the flute. I looked on the internet to see how to do it because I forgot and it has all the way to a high F. It says it’s for modern flute/base flute/piccolo. What’s a modern flute? Is that just a normal flute? And can a piccolo go all the way up to that really really high F? Man that’ll hurt my ears for sure haha :p
thanks

The term *modern flute* differentiates it from older, wooden flutes such as were used in the Renaissance and Medieval times, and through the Baroque and Classical periods. The flute we play now had its keywork method invented in the made 1800s – there have been some change since then, and the keys are not most often applied to a silver or silver-plated tube, rather than wood.
Yes, we professional player can play up to the high F beyond high C. The piccolo plays one octave higher than the flute – it, too, can surpass the high C that we usually think of as being at the top of its THREE-octave scale.

Good with your flute playing.
A student flute is usually silver plated with solid keys covering the holes. Armstrong, Gemeinhart, Bundy… etc
A professional model flute will have open holes in the top of each key, and most likely the better quality you want will depend if the flute is silver plated, or silver entirely, maybe white gold, etc. They may have a few more key options, and they are better balanced.
