Recommendations for upgrading from a beginners flute (1 Viewer)

I need to upgrade from a beginners flute to one that will take DD up to grade 8 and beyond. She is about to take grade 6. Any suggestions or recommendations.
Thank you.

To play them, you need good advice and to go somewhere where you can play them - a solid silver mouthpiece is usually recommended, but the price can vary.
Different brands suit different flautists - we got another Yahama. The beginner's flute is kept so that when one is being serviced, etc., the other is still available for practice.
