I went music shop and try open hole flute but seems that my finger tip can`t cover the hole. Would it be my small finger tip problem or not get used to play open hole? Anyone have that problem. Is it better sound from open hole and advance level will shift from closed to open?

Hello
Ya If your fingers cant cover the holes then I strongly advise no open hole flutes. Some of my band students have open holes and they do just fine and some cant do open hole flutes because of their fingers.

Hi Jessica,
Thanks for your reply. As I read message here and some ppl said they can adjust to use open hole later on. So I am not sure whether I can adjust or not. I am not sure whether is my finger problem or time to adjust problem. So I would like to know whether open hole is sound better or not and should I consider the sound and buy the open hole for future?

You should not be using finger tips. You should be uksing the pad UNDER the finger, under the area towards the BACK of the nail, which is not the `tip`.
But you don`t have to make yourself conform to what is largely a fashion if it is uncomfortable for you.

I`ve had an open hole flute for a year now and I still have one of the plugs in for my left hand ring finger key. It`s just hard for my finger to reach that far...

I`ve just confused as some ppl say they can adjust to use from closed to open. Or they cover the hole step by step from remove one plug to another until all. So I think this can be adjust if at the first try I can`t cover the hole. Should I go to music shop again to try with flatten finger position to see whether I can cover the hole or not? If I can`t cover now, no hope to cover later on?
