 Ah you can't compare them, both of them are still flutes...if you want to compare the brands then maybe we could give some info. If you're in a flute choir then I guess it will be fun playing the alto flute.

 Sorry ignore my previous post. :P To me, this is just like asking 'Which is better, piccolo or tuba?' Just see for yourself what is the differences between these 2 instruments. The C flute can play higher notes, but does that make the alto flute look bad? The alto can play lower notes, but it doesn't mean you should go bashing the C flute like a metal pancake for its inability to play lower notes.
 
 Its just the matter of your personal taste, some people just prefer the C flute, while some others prefer the alto flute. Of course, if you ask me which is more popular, I would say its the C flute.
