## Questions & Answers

**Q: Amazon is this flute real gold?**
A: The flute is NOT made out of Brass. It says it is cupernickel which is an alloy of copper and nickel. Brass is an alloy of Copper and zinc.

**Q: Would this flute be good for marching band?**
A: I could not recommend this flute for anything. I had a student run through 2 of these flutes in one marching season. You do not need an expensive flute for marching band, but reliability is necessary. I would recommend visiting a music shop (or even just searching online) and looking for a used student model flute, maybe a Bundy, Selmer, Yamaha, or Armstrong. You would get years out of one of those flutes and not just a few months. Hope this helps!! And good luck!!

**Q: What type of metal is third made of is this brass aluminum?**
A: It is very thin. Would guess Al. My under 100 # son sat on it and it bent and broke. I was surprised how easily that happened. Other than that it was a good flute. Teachers were impressed on its sound when they found out how much I paid for it. Plus we got a stand and well padded case.

**Q: Doea it come with a cleaning rod? I see it in the picture, but it is not listed in the description**
A: The cleaning rod will come with the package.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Sound

This flute sounds great and is high quality

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap way to check if you want to continue playing and little else.
*by E***M on April 30, 2024*

I purchased this mainly on a whim. I was wanting to get back into music, and stumbled on this while searching for a decent Irish whistle. I took the chance and got this flute for $80 tax and all, and I am glad I did. A decent beginner flute will run you ~$500+. . . FOR A REASON. I had my initial practice session with this flute blissfully unaware of how precise and expensive these instruments are. After the first 6 hour long session, I went to clean the flute and dropped the body. Despite barely hitting the floor hard, it was enough to completely ruin the lower body keys to where, even with an attempt to repair, it leaks too much to learn more than the left hand note register. This is the main drawback of this flute, and quite frankly the others in this range. They are cheap for a reason, though this is less a flaw with Mendini and more a problem with the whole cheap flute options. This leads me to the kind part of this review. This is a great and cost safe method to get started. The accessories you get are quite nice, and should be compatible with better quality instruments going forward. Even as a total beginner, it was really easy to get going and get a good sound. Even a week in I can hit upper C, BAG with flawless precision. Will this win you contests? No. Will this get you past a year? No. What this is, is a cheap way to determine if you truly want to pursue the flute, and thanks to this I can genuinely understand, appreciate, and stomach spending $500 on a higher grade reliable flute. I have to circle back and point out the biggest drawback though. These cheap flutes are made thin with cheap materials. Repair shops won't even look at these typically, and cost of COA or, God forbid, repairs will immediately exceed the cost of this flute. One good drop like I had and you are stuck with a wall decoration and some accessories you can almost certainly use later. There are a few videos on YouTube where professionals have tested these low priced instruments, and I can reiterate the same thing they did. If you fear you or your kid will not continue beyond a month or so, or need a super cheap placeholder, this is sufficient to get started if you treat it like fragile glass (so none of the abuse crap we did in band class that would make me cry watching it now). If you are aiming to play long term and just want to save a few dollars, AVOID. Get a $500 range Yamaha or Gemeinhardt. You genuinely do get what you pay for here. The thing about flutes is that going less expensive than $500-1000 will actually work against you, but as with all instruments, especially flute, you are more important to the result than the instrument itself. I got a chance to try a $12,000 flute today and the grand result was that I sounded about the same as I did on a $500 Yamaha, and that was barely better than this $80 flute. You will only feel the price initially in build quality and how soon you will need to trade it because eventually the instrument quality does begin to matter. So just keep this in mind, that $80 is a good test, but ~$500 is the starting point. As for me, I will keep practicing the CBAG and see what other few notes I can still play while I save up over the next few months to replace it with something that will be more reliable and last me the next few years before I outgrow it. When I do, this will make a nice wall decoration piece, and an emergency head and foot.
