There are several things that determine the overall cost of a flute:

Material - Most student flutes are made of nickel and then plated with silver. Intermediate flutes will have either the headjoint or the entire head, body and foot made of solid silver. - Most student flutes are made of nickel and then plated with silver.

Service - Some organizations offer service after the sale, including maintenance of the instrument, school delivery and support of the school and community. In most cases, saying "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is" can be applied to musical instruments. In other words, "you get what you pay for". While there are many deals available to musicians of all levels, there are instruments that are poorly manufactured and not appropriate for making music or bringing to a band class. It is wise to ask from a private instructor, music educator or reputable music store for guidance in selecting the best instrument for your musical needs.

How do you play songs on synthesia?

On Windows: Right-click the song and choose "Play in Synthesia". If you're a Mac user, the process is very similar. After locating the song file on your desktop or in a folder: On a Mac: Right-click the song, hover "Open With", and select "Synthesia".

synthesiagame.com - Adding songs - Synthesia

This guide covers features that are only found in the Windows and Mac versions of Synthesia. In this guide you'll learn a few ways to play other songs in Synthesia: those you created yourself or found elsewhere. Several methods are covered. First, it's important to understand which types of music Synthesia can use: MIDI or MusicXML files. Those file formats contain the list of instructions that describe which notes to play using which instruments at which times. This is different than a WAV or MP3 file which only contain a squashed-down signal ready to send out to speakers. So, be sure you've got a MIDI or MusicXML version of the song you'd like to play. Most sheet music editing software can export either kind of file.
