“In a market that is saturated with dull sounding instruments, North Bridge step up flutes shine brightly. Great work from a company that understands what young flutists are really looking for.”
Making the step up to a musical instrument offering professional features is an important decision for all musicians. The step-up instrument is the bridge that often transforms the budding student into the professional artist. Choosing the right instrument can lead to significant musical progress, as well as great success and accomplishment. North Bridge offers a unique family of intermediate level flutes, which allow the flutist to find their musical voice and to develop a full, rich, and beautiful sound.

It comes standard with pointed arms, open holes, high quality Pissoni pads, and a French-style case with a nylon case cover. The result is flute that is fun and easy to play, with impeccable tone and projection.
