Eastman 214CSE-CO Student Flute – Curved & Straight Headjoints

The Eastman 214CSE-CO Student Flute is an excellent choice for younger beginners because it includes both a curved and a straight headjoint. This allows a child to begin with the curved headjoint when a standard flute is too long to hold comfortably, then move to the straight headjoint as they grow.

Designed for Younger Flute Players

For a smaller child, reaching the keys of a full-size flute can result in an uncomfortable playing position. The curved headjoint brings the flute closer to the player, reducing the reach required and making it easier to establish a comfortable playing position.

Because the Eastman 214CSE-CO also includes the standard straight headjoint, there is no need to replace the entire flute simply because the player has grown.

Quality Student-Flute Features

The Eastman 214CSE-CO features a silver-plated nickel-silver headjoint, body and footjoint, together with closed-hole keywork, offset G, split E mechanism and C footjoint. The offset G contributes to a comfortable hand position, while the closed-hole design is well suited to developing players. A French-style case with nylon cover is also included.

A Flute That Can Grow With the Player

The combination of curved and straight headjoints is what makes this model particularly useful for families buying a first flute for a younger child.

Rather than choosing a flute based on age alone, we recommend checking the individual player’s arm length, hand position and overall comfort. At Tempest Music, we can size younger players and compare the Eastman 214CSE-CO with our other smaller-flute options.
