Open Hole C Flute, 16 Keys Student Flute Instrument for Beginner Advanced Player, with Carry Bag, Strap, Gloves, Adjustment Screwdriver, Cleaning Kit (Open/Closed Hole, Silver Plated)

For a starter student flute its not bad. The tone is a little off in my opinion. But nothing super noticeable as a novice. It is a great starter flute for beginners and the price cant be beat.The pads were good and everything played perfect out of the box. It has a nice case and I loved the cleaning accessories it came with. The color is a nice polished silver that doesn't seem to tarnish easily.Overall, great flute for a beginner. Even better for marching band so you arent damaging your expensive flute.

Plays very well, great product and does not look cheap!

Let me tell you, I am impressed with the quality of the flute, the sound is clear the keys very soft, very good for beginners!It come with a little set if tools and nice case for storage, even a pair of cotton gloves.I would recommend it 100%.

Great value and perfect for beginners. I got everything in the kit except for the cleaning rod (arguably the most important item) but the flute goes together great. It was delivered with little rubber stops to keep the keeps from moving during transit. The flute plays great, just a couple of sticky keys - nothing major. All in all, great deal for a beginner learning the flute.

Needed a backup flute for when my kid "forgets" to bring home her instrument to practice. Nicely made and beautiful look. It will make flute sounds but my daughter said it's harder to play the top notes compared to her Yamaha. At the price point, it's still a great bargain for someone wanting to try, a backup instrument, or the nostalgic adult remembering marching band days from high school. Just buy the flute....it'll impress the heck out of you spouse that you still can play Heard it Through the Grapevine. Lol

This flute is absolute garbage. You have to press the keys down really hard to get the "right" sound out. It leaks like crazy and sounds terrible. Mine came broken, I can't play a D or E flat because the key on the foot joint, barely opens. You can't take it for repairs because it will melt when they try to solder it. Go to the Goodwill website and spend the money on an Artley, Bundy or Geminhardt, even if it needs new pads. This is pretty much disposable.

The instrument looks quite nice and has a good weight to it. However, the tone and mechanics of the keys/mechanisms is a bit disappointing. The E, F, and F sharp notes sound as if the pads leak. The B flat key feels chunky. The foot joint is very hard to apply and I have to grab keys to get it to turn which increases risk of messing up your keys. Support was contacted, and basically told me to take it to a technician to fix, which defeats the purpose of buying an inexpensive "travel" flute. I have other cheap flutes that sound better.

I had my $5,000 flute stolen from me (and that was very modestly priced for 1965); doubt I'll ever see it again, and I definitely can't afford to replace it right now - it'd be over $30,000, I'm sure) . I wanted a flute - and I've never had a BLUE one, but what the hell. Thought I'd give it a shot! So glad I did! Very nice timbre. Good quality, especially for the price! I bought it during Prime Days, so it was less than $100! I'm not saying it's perfect, but definitely worth it! I've been playing for over 60 years (have an MFA - concentration in music), but this would make a very nice beginner instrument, as well. Recommend.
