Im looking to purchase my very first flute and I seen online some used flutes. A Gemeinhardt 2ESH flute for for 63 dollars, a Pearl flute for 88 dollars and a PAROT flute for 75 dollars. Which option should I consider? Maybe I should buy a new flute? Do you have any good bugdet friendly suggestions? I don't know anything about flutes so i would appriciate any help!

If anyone could tell me what styles are used in this choreo i would be really thankful!
So I am very new to the flute world, but I do know how to play the recorder.
I was considering buying a modern concert flute but they are really expensive. I have seen some other types of flutes online for a lot cheaper and would like some advice on which one to buy.
There are many with only 6 finger holes, and as the titles suggests, I would want it to play all notes in a chromatic scale and I don't think it's possible with this type (correct me if i'm wrong!). I've also seen baroque flutes (traverso) and fifes.
I would like to know which flute if the most similar to the concert flute in terms of range and sound. Are there other types of flutes that I should check out? Is there a flute that has the same holes and fingerings as a recorder (but blown sideways)?
Thanks in advance!
