16 Key Closed Hole C Flute - Student Flute for Beginners,Easy to Play with Durable Design, Includes Carrying Case, Cleaning Kit, Gloves, Perfect for Learning(Black)

It was everything we expected when we got this for our son who wanted to learn the Flute. He has had it a few years now and it has held up well to him playing on it daily.

Although I'm an accomplished musician, I haven't played flute since grade school (it was my first instrument), and I've always wanted to get back to it. At a price of just $55 USD I couldn't pass this up and decided to give it a try. It's a surprisingly solid and well-made flute for the price, and it also comes with a cleaning rod, clothes, and gloves (certainly more than my student flute back in the day did!) There was one keyspring out-of-place on the end piece, which could've happened during shipping, it was an easy fix with a careful use of tweezers; after that all the keys work easily and as they should. I also noticed that the machining is VERY close on the joints between pieces of the flute - you'll want to be careful when assembling/disassembling to avoid damaging those edges or potentially roughing up the finish.Muscle memory took a while to kick in, but once I got my positioning right the tone was pretty good for such an inexpensive instrument. For a beginner just starting out or wanting to try the flute before committing to a more expensive purchase, I think this is would be quite adequate.

For the vaule 8 for the sound quality 9 for getting the flute to the house before the starting of school season 10
