and the music teacher was happy with it for beginner purposes
October 31, 2016
Last year I purchased a Hisonic clarinet for my oldest. The price was right, and the music teacher was happy with it for beginner purposes. As a result of that experience, despite Guitar Center's best efforts, I went with this flute for the next kid in line for school lessons. It again seems to be perfect for at least a beginner. I helped unpack and assemble it. It seemed quite sturdy, and from what I gather it plays as expected.
Nice flute.
October 4, 2016
I am not sure how long my son will be playing the flute so I decided to purchase this flute instead of buying another used flute that may need expensive repairs. He likes it alot.
beautiful an professional

We were surprised to find a good quality flute for such a deal
September 25, 2015
We were surprised to find a good quality flute for such a deal. But, here it is! We even sent the description to a friend of ours who has played the flute for years and he recommended it to us as a first time flute for our 10 year old who is learning to play. So far, we are very happy with it.
I don't know about the flute, but my daughter loved it...
July 13, 2015
I got this as a replacement for my daughter in Jr High - who had her other flute stolen... that didn't make me happy. I don't know anything about flutes - I couldn't tell a good flute from a good oboe from a decent hobo... that said, my daughter loves it. She was happy - she gave me many hugs and jumped up an down a bit... and I loved that.
Music to my ears
March 4, 2015
My granddaughter was tickled to get this for Christmas because she had to play a school instrument due to family financial restraint s. Her grandfather and I promised her a new one if she wanted to keep playing and she may never be a professional but she's enjoying it now and hopes to continue in High School. The sound and quality were very good.

Great beginner flute, very durable.
September 30, 2017
Based on our experience, the flute is well worth the money, and more than adequate for a beginning student. We bought this flute in 2013 for my daughter, and it held up without any problem for 4 years at more or less daily use and not having done any maintenance at all. Recently, one note stopped working. The music teacher in school had it fixed, and now it plays and sounds as good as ever. However, they said that we should start looking at a better model, since this one is a beginner flute, and it is worth investing a little more for the intermediate level that my daughter is now playing at. We are looking at Yamaha and Gemeinhardt, which were the brands recommended by the teacher.Others commented already on the case, that it does not last very long, and we found the same, but even $50 aftermarket cases lasted only 2 years or so.

Good product and good price
Great price and product for beginners
October 12, 2016
Great price and product for beginners! It came packaged well in a nice case and the sound is great, not airy/breathy like the cheap ones. Nicely made!
Beautiful flute
July 19, 2016
I was super impressed when it showed up I wasn't sure what to expect with the cost being so reasonable but it is beautiful. Nice sturdy case and cleaning cloth included I did find it had a strong "new" odor but I left the case open and now it has almost all disapated .My son doesnt know how to play yet it is for school in the fall but it seems great and that is the only reason I gave it a 4 star .
Good buy
September 27, 2014
Seems like a solid flute for a beginner. The case is nice as it is hard-sided. Arrived on time and in excellent condition.Definitely a better choice than paying a monthly rental fee!
Good buy for the price
October 7, 2013
My daughter's band teacher said the flute sounded good. So, we are happy. Like other reviews, the case lining is black, not blue as in the picture. The cleaning rod looks so ugly, but maybe it needs to be plastic, so it won't scratch the flute ?

A few keys didn't work when we got it so we had to take it to a shop. A week later, some keys stopped working again.

The case is made out of cheap material that falls apart just sitting on the shelf, looks ugly now.
Worked well
January 8, 2014
This flute worked very well for me through marching band. It had a few minor issues such as the thumb B flat key constantly developing a leak, but it was no problem to adjust it when necessary. I was pleasantly surprised by the tone of this flute and how it remained in good working condition throughout the marching season. Many other flutes that I have owned have not fared so well. This would make an excellent flute for a beginner or a high school student in marching band. I doubt that it would be a good choice for an advanced player however
Smelly
August 4, 2011
I really like the flute but when I got it (which was in 2 days after I ordered it) it smelled horrible.. Like almost really strong cleaning fluid and it gives me a stomach ache so I can't play it for too long. I'm glad that the shipping was only 2 days and it was supposed to be at least 5 days so it was a big surprise! Only the smell and that it doesn't even come with a name tag or something to put your name on so you don't lose it. Hopefully that smell will go away..
Beginner flute only!
September 19, 2010
I've had this flute for about three days. This flute would be perfect for a beginner only. It's been twelve years since I last played. The key pads were a tad sticky and the case it came in is very poor quality. I literally have to force the flute into the box to make it sit right. Also, the cleaning rod is basically a thick plastic stick that when used with the cloth it comes with, doesn't even fit inside the flute! I will have to buy a new rod and cloth. If you don't mind a cheaply made case and cleaning kit, then the flute works for a beginner as opposed to renting or buying a higher priced flute. It is a good price for a student though!

Worked awesome until it got dented inside the case jn my daughter's backpack. Careful and would be fine for an adult. I know it was cheap and I could easily tell it was.
Not so great Flute
January 27, 2011
This may be a good flute for grown ups but if you are planning to buy for your kids band, then it may be better to just rent one. Just after 3 months getting this flute, my Son's teacher started complaning about it. We can't even fix it locally.
Bad Quality Instrument
November 15, 2010
This is a bad quality instrument. After a few months, the air was leaking out of one of the keys. I couldn't play an "F". I took it to the repair shop, but they said they wouldn't repair it because it was a bad quality instrument and it was too cheap. Also, the real instrument looks different from the image that is shown.

Don't waste your money
November 23, 2015
Exactly worked for 1 year, then springs and solder came out and broken
cheap and crappy
October 26, 2014
This flute is simply garbage. my daughter has been in marching band for 8 years spending the last 4 of those years as a section leader in a school that took State once and Grand champions in all categories twice so believe me when I say she really knows how to play. When the pads gave out on her last flute we found this one two be a comparable replacement. when we got it, it looked ok but felt very cheap and played horribly. shes had it two weeks and it is still lousy. I beg you not to buy this piece of crap. Spare yourself and your kids the dissapointnent.
After 6 months-bad!
June 13, 2014
Purchased 6 months ago for wife. Due to health issues, she was unable to use until now. When trying to use the flute, the sounds did not come as expected, so I had a teacher come to provide lessons. The teacher was a university music professor who plays the flute. She said the problem is not your wife, it is a bad flute, leaking air throughout...she had never heard of this brand. So, I am writing it off as a mistake and will purchase a new name brand flute. DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING this brand.. Ron
Keys don't work
December 29, 2013
I purchased this flute for my daughter and it only has 1 sound. No matter how many keys you push, in what order the tune never changes! She is crushed, she has wanted this for 2 years. :(
Hisonic flute
October 23, 2013
This flute came with a piece missing. Wrong case and it seems very complicated to return. The flute also does not look new though it is pretty. Items from Amazon are usually great.
