  • Great Beginner Flute! Best value for your money
I did the homework so you don't have to. I looked around a long time before deciding on this particular flute. My daughter is starting band and I wanted a decent starter flute that would be easy to play and be durable at the same time. I played in band many years ago and I have seen a large array of different instruments. I can't see how you could a better value than this instrument. First of all it is Triple silver plated not nickel/silver like so many cheap flutes are. It is very obvious when you first see this instrument that is silver plated. I can tell you this instrument is nothing short of stunning in appearance. More importantly than initial appearance is silver can be polished to regain initial luster. I played a brass instrument that had a clear lacquer coat that looked awful after 2 years even though I cleaned my instrument after every use. I had a friend that had a silver plated trumpet that was beautiful after 6 years of playing. For me personally, silver plated is the best compromise from the intermediate and professional flutes that have gold and silver and other precious metals in their hardware. Please keep in mind this finish can still be worn off. You absolutely must wipe this instrument off after every use. The acid and oils in your hands and saliva will eat the finish off the instrument. This is much more durable than the cheap lacquer coated instruments but you still have to take care of it. It will certainly stay beautiful much longer than one that is not silver plated. Open or closed 16 hole? My intention is to get my daughter a different flute or piccolo as she progressed if she desired to continue in band. As an initial flute the closed hole is a better solution for many as it is difficult for most young learners to keep that hole closed and learn the other fingerings. That being said, if you want to get a single flute for your child I would suggest as the best option one that has a plug that can be removed for that 16th hole or an open 16th hole flute. You will find many beginner flutes that have the 16th hole closed. Sometimes referred simply as a Plateau model. Curved head or not? If my daughter was not almost 12 with average length arms I might would consider this option. I shied away from this because I was afraid that changing it back to a straight flute could potentially hurt my daughter's progress. Good technique starting from the start will overcome the problem of the keys being so far out. In case anybody is wondering what I am talking about, Jupiter one of the brands that sells a flute with a C-shaped head joint that shortens the distance you have to reach with your right hand to play the flute. Maybe I am too old school, but I think that playing with the standard shaped instrument will lead to better overall progress. This model does not come with that option. It was something that I explored so I put that information here in case you where considering that for your child. Please disregard this paragraph if you are not interested in this option for your child. Key Action. One comment I read here said the key action was "stiff". First of all, this is a beginner instrument, you want the key action to be clean and decisive. Stiff in my opinion is an overstatement. This misleading comment alone could turn hundreds off to what I consider a great starter instrument. I played this instrument and went through the entire range of keys and I found them to be very good to excellent. I think perhaps if you where looking for an intermediate or professional instrument that this one would be quite disappointing. I would feel a vast majority of beginners would be very satisfied with the key action with an equal number of professionals would be sorely disappointed. Please take the "stiff keys" review with a grain of salt. My review is strictly from a search for a beginner's instrument view. I found this an easy flute to learn on. I have never played one in my life and found the tone to be very clear and easy to blow. The very same "stiff key" review noted a harsh tone. I can not say that is true. I spent a long time looking all over for the best value instrument. My choices where a used Yamaha or this one new. I am not a big fan on buying used products, I would never consider buying a used band instrument that was not recently refurbished by a professional music shop. You can quickly rack up a huge bill on replacement pads, key replacement and adjustments. I think when you go just below this price point you really get into the cheap stuff. Poor key action, bad misaligned pads, poor craftsmanship and a finish that looks ugly after a year. [...]. [...]. ... show more

  • Poor performance - mal adjusted?
Flute was in perfect physical condition however execution of notes in the lower range was very disappointing (quality control issue?)

  • Worth the money
Purchasing professional instruments for children is a ludicrous proposition. That is where this product comes in. For my oldest son we purchased an intermediate Trombone. He did not appreciate and has treated it poorly. Now I am upset every time I see it. We purchased it used from a local music shop that rents to students. They gave us a payment plan but charged us nearly full price for it, something we didn't realize at the time. My wife and I decided after this that we would pay less for a first instrument, and if they liked it and stuck with it, then later purchase an intermediate when they would appreciate it and know better how to care for it. After that experience we started looking online for instruments. I was very nervous at first as there are so many ways this can go wrong. However, it did not go right buying locally. We bought this flute for my daughter. She has played for three years on it and it continues to work well. It had a minor issue with pads seating properly and simple adjustment resolved the issue. She does want to buy a better instrument now but is not certain she is going to continue playing through high school and beyond. Her teacher has commented positively many times on the quality sound that comes from this flute. If the student sticks with it they will be able to make an informed decision later when it is time to buy an intermediate instrument. If I had it to do all over again I would not hesitate, this was a very good decision. ... show more

  • the cheapest price on Gemeinhardt flute
I was a bit nervous on spending 500$ on a flute for my middle school daughter, but I remember the brand was amazing when i played in high school. we purchased a beginner flute for 99$ on amazon and it had a lot of squeaking and couldn't hold a note. This one was perfect. I was more excited when it came in the mail than she was, but the first day playing it she said it was amazing and she didn't miss any notes, it sounds clear, crisp and the band teacher has been asking where I found it for such a great price. totally worth the price for a beginner and someone who wants to stick with it for a few years. ... show more

  • Either Gemeinhardt is cheaping out on cases, or I got a fake one?
What ever happened to the quality cases with the Gemeinhardt logo on them? Either Gemeinhardt is cheaping out or Brooks May ripped me off.

  • He said it is definitely a good student flute and a wonderful price for it
Bought this flute for my daughter after showing the amazon offer to her band teacher. His jaw dropped at the price for this flute. He said it is definitely a good student flute and a wonderful price for it. He said the only thing to possibly consider is that this is a closed hole flute as opposed to an open hole, which is a bit more challenging and has a slightly different sound. When she needs an open hole flute, she borrows it from the school. The flute has a lovely sound and responds well to my daughter playing it. As her band teacher said, "She can really make that flute talk." She used it for her solo competition and received superior marks. It is much nicer than her rental flute (which had an air leak and therefore not a rich sound like this flute has) and now we don't have to pay the monthly fee we had been paying for the past two years. This should get her through the rest of this year and high school band. ... show more
