OQAN OFL-600 - C transverse flute for beginners
The OQAN OFL-600 transverse flute is a student instrument meticulously designed to accompany flutists in their first musical steps. Tuned to C, the standard for this instrument, it features a robust and ergonomic construction that facilitates learning and progression. With an elegant silver finish, this flute not only offers a clear and focused sound but also a professional aesthetic. Its design is intended to maximize comfort and ease of playing, making it a preferred choice for students and music schools.
Built with quality materials, the OFL-600 guarantees durability and consistent sound. One of its strengths is the inclusion of Pisoni pads, renowned worldwide for their excellent seal and longevity.

Benefits for the beginner flautist
The OQAN OFL-600 is designed to make learning to play the flute a rewarding experience from day one. The combination of closed holes and a split E mechanism solves two of the biggest technical challenges for new students: correct finger placement and stable production of high notes. This results in a faster learning curve and greater motivation for the player.
The ergonomic design with offset keys prevents fatigue and promotes proper technique from the start. The quality of its components, such as Pisoni pads and cork end caps, ensures the instrument maintains optimal performance for longer, giving confidence to students, parents, and teachers alike.
Use cases
This model is the ideal tool for students starting out at the conservatory, music schools, or private lessons. Its robustness and reliability make it perfect for daily use and constant practice. It is also an excellent choice as a second instrument for musicians who play other wind instruments and wish to learn the flute, or for bands that need durable, well-tuned practice instruments for their woodwind section.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this flute suitable for a child who is just starting out?
Yes, absolutely. The closed-hole design and offset keys (Offset G) are specifically designed to make learning easier for musicians with small hands, such as children, by providing a more natural and comfortable playing position.
What does "My Party mechanism" mean?
The split E mechanism is a system that divides the action of the G keys. This greatly facilitates playing and stabilizes the tuning of the E note in the third octave, which is often unstable on flutes that do not have this mechanism.
Do Pisoni shoes make a big difference?
Yes. Pads are crucial for the proper functioning of the flute, as they seal the holes. Pisoni pads are Italian-made and considered a high-quality standard, guaranteeing that the flute will not leak air, will sound clear, and will require fewer adjustments.
What maintenance does this flute require?
Like any wind instrument, it requires regular cleaning after each use with the included cloth and rod to remove internal moisture. It is recommended to take it to a qualified technician for an annual service and adjustment.
