The Jupiter JFL511 is an excellent starting point at the right price. It will help and encourage someone to learn to play and not hinder their progression. There are flutes out there cheaper, but if it was possible to make a flute worth owning for less than the JFL511, Jupiter would have done it. They are precious, for all the right reasons, about their brand and reputation.
