Eastar Closed Hole 16 Keys Flute for Beginner Kids Student with Cleaning Kit, Stand, Case, Gloves, Tuning Rod, Nickel, EFL-1

Great value for money and a well made flute, as a complete novice with no previous experience, i watched some videos to get started and found i could make reasonably progress and started to produce some quite good sounds fairly quickly. In less than a week i have managed to play a complete scale from the lowest note upwards. far from perfect, but apparently the lowest note is oneof the more difficult to play for a beginner. I'm enjoying the experience and looking forward to making a lot more music with this instrument.

Amazing flute at an amazing price. I’ve played flute for over 50 years and have a collection of boehm concert flutes like this one and also wooden irish style flutes and whistles. I bought this as I did not have an open hole concert flute. Due to a temporary hand condition limiting my right hand stretching I wasn’t able to play my irish wooden flutes and you can’t get the same expression from a closed hole keyed boehm flute. I didn’t expect too much for this kind of money but I was impressed by the tone and playability of this instrument. The main difference these days between an expensive and a budget boehm flute is the strength of the metal used in the rods and springs. A budget instrument will go out of alignment quicker if played a lot everyday. However as a student instrument and casual use this is a real bargain. I’ll post a video when I get the time.

Wanted a cheap workmanlike flute for practice. It fits the bill, but one of the keys (activated by f sharp) not sealing properly. Will have to paper shim it, but it is still playable. Lower register rich and full, mid nice, but top octave none too clear at the moment. Still, I rarely get up there! Overall for an inexpensive instrument it is good value - just have a teacher check it over before using… for once it might not be the student’s fault!

This flute is perfect for beginners. The flute itself plays brilliantly, and the mid-range notes are warm and resonant. The lip plate is comfortable, not too skinny or too thick, and doesn't feel as if it will be bent. In regards to the additional products included with the instrument, the case is incredibly well-made (possibly even better than the case that came with my £1000+ concert flute!) and the other gadgets included such as the stand, small screwdriver and cleaning rod and cloths are all great value for money, which, if bought separately would probably cost as much as the entire bundle! I would highly recommend this to any beginner (even up to Grade 5), and I am even considering taking this with me to my next concert as a back-up! Great value for money with a great sound, highly recommend.

For the price I was very pleasantly surprised with this flute. I'm a novice so don't know if it's good compared to other flutes in terms of musicality, but a friend who's a music teacher has played it and said it's a nice instrument. Comes in a lovely case with the extras, really well packaged and really feels like I've treatmd myself to a quality instrument for a very reasonable price. Now I just have to practice practice practice! To any adult buying one of these, I'd say invest in at least a couple of lessons - I'd watched all the youtube videos etc and could hardly geta note out of it, but after just half an hour with an experienced teacher I could consistently get a clear note, knew how to put flute together safely and play a few notes so was up and running. Well worth the investment.

Nice beginners flute for this price and comes with a complete package (comes with Hard Case, Cleaning Rod, Cloth, Flute Swab, Screwdriver Gloves and finger chart). I am not an expert with flutes but when I showed to to my music teacher, he is amazed to know the price of this superb flute and the accessories. The mechanics are functioning OK, no dead keys, or springs. The key action is the most responsive and the springs have a strong reaction. have to see how this lasts. here starts my journey to learn another musical instrument ;)

The flute looks beautiful but I was devastated to learn that my daughter shouldn't be using it, if she wants to learn how to play properly. Her 1st lesson was this week & I just received a school email: ...She really enjoyed it however, she may have told you that Mr Sterling found an issue with the flute that had been purchased on Amazon I believe. The flute is in 3 separate pieces which is as it should be. However, the bore of the mouth piece does not fit into the main body of the flute as it does not belong to the same instrument. Please sort this out Amazon.

One of the key doesn’t close fully causing error in sound while practicing
