Andoer Flute, Western Concert Flute - Cupronickel Plated Silver 16 Holes C Key Flute Woodwind Instrument with Cleaning Cloth Stick Gloves Padded Carrying Case

I really wasn't sure about this, but the reviews were mostly good. I haven't played a flute since I was 10 or 11 as I took up guitar soon after. At 45 now I'm reminiscing I really wanted to give it another go. Most of the student flutes I've looked at were just under £100, so I bit my lip when pressing the purchase button.I needn't have worried though at all! It's a great flute and it's actually easier to play than the one I'd had handed down to me when I was a kid. Even the low notes aren't that hard to hit after a little practice.It doesn't look cheap, the box is sturdy. It came with two cleaning cloths, grease a rod and even some white gloves - although they'd probably suit fingers half the length of mine ;)So if you are interested in taking up flute, don't be shy, give it a try!

The flute is good and creates nice sound too. Matched my expectations. However, this time the amazon delivery standard was really very poor. The delivery was delayed almost by a week this was birthday present for my sister and I missed the occasion. Frustrating...

Surprisingly a really good flute for the money! Clear sound, easy to blow and get a note. Probably won't last as long as a more expensive flute but great for a first try, or just a throw around that you don't mind being more heavy handed with!

I totally love this flute. I wanted something cheap for me and my friends to muck around with in the woods, but the flute is much better than I expected. A pleasure to play.Update: I liked it so much I bought two - one in green and one in purple. Both are just as good as each other, but they have different shaped embouchure holes - one is rectangular and one is oval. I do like them both equally, but they do have a very different character and playability (the rectangular one is harder to play with clarity, but when you do get it right it is much louder than the oval one - especially in the lower range). I am very happy because I now have one of each type, but it would be nice to be able to specify which embouchure type at the time of purchase - I don't know if this is possible?

A surprisingly good sound for the cost. I can honestly say there's not much difference in sound between this flute and my Azumi. However the lower notes did not sound at first and I had to adjust the screws. Although I get a sound now, the lower register is still not quite right. The suppliers are very unhelpful and have no expertise whatsoever to give advice, so I wouldn't rely on them.

I am an experienced flute player and had great difficulty with certain notes especially F. I can play and make a good sound on other flutes. This would not be good for a beginner as they would not know if the problem was them or the flute

I'm an adult returning to flute after two attempts to learn when much younger. This is a really good starter package for the price and I would recommend it. I had to use the little screw driver to do a minor adjustment as one of my keys was not opening after being pressed but the little wire had popped out from its groove and just needed slotting back in. It plays well and I am happy I bought this.

Bought this for my 7 year old grand daughter who has just started flute lessons in school, ideal for her to learn on and not too heavy for her, she loves it.
