What is a good beginner flute for $250 or under?

I'm a high school graduate who is going into studying music and I wanted to pick up the flute as my third instrument. I'm looking to buy a good beginner model. I was thinking about this one. http://www.wwbw.com/Barrington-Model-229SP-Student-Flute-463764-i1413084.wwbw


I have 250 dollars to work with. Thanks.What is a good beginner flute for $250 or under?
Barrington is TRASH. And I have little use Gemeinhardts, either. You want a GOOD brand - and at your price point, you should look at used flute. You can go to www.usedflutes.com and have your pick of previously-owned flutes - just stick with a GOOD BRAND.





You can browse around in www.fluteowrld.com - altho you will not FIND anything there in your range - just to see what they are selling, and to learn about models, etc. If you could fins something ike a Jupiter 611 use - you might hit your price point. Or an Emerson. Unless you KNOW what you are doing ( and you did consider a Barrington - need I say more?) stay off eBay - I have scored a LOT of good flutes there, but that is my major instrument, and I have been a teacher since 1971. The pawn shops that sell on eBay are f often my best source - you could look, but do not BUY unless you get expert advice.What is a good beginner flute for $250 or under?
I'm in 11th grade now and my flute is a Gemeinhardt. I got my flute through a music store and my parents payed a monthly fee of about $30 a month and it was payed off in about a year and a half.
I am a seventh grader and I play the flute. I have a used Yamaha and it works very well. I don't know how much they are but they are worth the money.
