In plain terms, the airstream has less to fight on the way in, so a beginner finds a clear note sooner and with less air. It also stays even across the registers, which is why players who move on to a better flute often keep this headjoint design in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOffset G, covered keys, pointed arms\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe offset G sits the left-hand ring finger key closer to where the hand naturally rests, so there is no stretch to seal it.
