  • Great Flute, Awesome customer service and well built
Style: Student Pattern: Flute
Okay is this a $1000 or a $5000 dollar flute no.... but its a damn good flute for the money i have tried many different cheap flutes out there and they all have issues... I have seen a review by wiki that states this is there number one pick down to there 5th pick saying it has air leaking issues... well let me tell you mine came with a little blemish on one of the keys and Jean Paul service was more then outstanding they shipped me a new one right away took a few days to get here but arrived as promised. and the finish was top notch. nothing wrong with it.. and about air leaks this flute is so tight i know i am not loosing any air. it plays beautiful a friend of mine which is a professional flute player other then the nickle finish could not believe i payed under $200.00 for it. when she came over she ended up playing mine for the time she was hear i even tried to see if she would trade her $6000 flute for it she laughed and then gave mine back. but she loved the workmanship when i told her it was built over seas she couldn't believe it. she was a little upset at me for not buying american made product. i told her hey i was going to give them a try and that i expressed my concern to the company that we need it made over here for it to be made in the USA. but he did insure me that they were all inspected before they ship them out... I also found out that be careful about amazon they have been sending returned flutes back out to new customers the shipper has talked with them and it seems amazon is not listing so carefully inspect your flute and call the company not amazon and they will take care of you no questions asked. because of this the product has gotten some bad reviews so i stress to all new buyers like me let the company get you fixed up if you have an issue before posting a review... because a review should be on everything including customer service and quality of product. if they take care of you and the instrument is performing then make sure your honest in what happen and that it got fixed. I do recommend this product to any student or beginning player the price is right and the flute makes music you buy a bad instrument trying to save money then who ever is going to play the instrument will not enjoy the learning process. ... show more

  • Sounds good and customer service outstanding
Style: Student Pattern: Flute
I'm a 70 year-old man who decided to learn the flute. The price point of this flute seemed to be about right for ones that sounded good. From the reviews of this and other brands, this seemed like the best quality for the money and the seller seemed to be above-board. Boy, did I hit the jackpot with those two items. Even though I am a rank beginner, I was able to produce notes that made a pretty good imitation of music. With a little practice, they would probably grow into real music, but I can already see the improvement. The customer service is outstanding. The advertisement said it came with some flute grease, but there was none in my case. I emailed Jean Paul and they sent some out right away. After a couple of months, it seemed that it was getting harder to get a good sound out of the lower end keys. I emailed Jean Paul again and they asked for a video to show and tell the problem. I complied and they agreed to take the instrument back and adjust it. They did and even sent me a video of the tech playing my flute to show that everything was adjusted. No charge on any of that. So, the instrument is good, the customer service is more than good and the price is good. I can't speak to other brands, but after doing a lot of research and having had the personal experience I did, I can only sing the praises of this flute and Jean Paul. Well, maybe it is better for all concerned if I merely type the praises because my singing might drive customers away. ... show more

  • Great quality for the price. Perfect for beginner to intermediate
Style: Intermediate Pattern: Flute
Overall 4 only because I did need to make an adjustment as there was leakage so I had to tighten up a screw or two. Great sound for price. Perfect for beginners. I'm not an advanced player and consider myself more intermediate. I got this flute to get back into playing since I haven't played for a few yrs. I was impressed with the quality for the price. I wish I could say more and compare it with another brand but at the moment I haven't tried to go into a music store to sample any other intermediate flutes but it does Play the below middle c better than other beginner flutes in my experience. However, I will say it is a little bit more challenging for me to play the higher register on this flute which is not typically a challenge for me with my other flute. ... show more

  • So glad I took a chance on this!
Style: Student Pattern: Flute
Wow! I am a 36 year old mom and haven’t touched a flute in 15 years. As a new band kid (~25 years ago) my parents purchased me a brand new Yamaha Flute and it was a great instrument compared to what many band kids had. Well, I took lessons and progressed and even was a competitive marching band Geek for four years. At some point I unfortunately lost that lovely Yamaha. I bought a used flute for a pretty low price and got what I payed for. It was always so hard to play. Anyways that junky flute is long gone and I wanted another to try playing again. I was unwilling to invest right now and took a chance when I saw the positive reviews for this flute. I’ve never heard of the company but when I saw they were selling a flute with small cosmetic blemishes for around $50 I just clicked and said a prayer hoping it wasn’t junk. Haha. Well, It came today and I am still in awe. It reminds me of the ease of playing my old Yamaha and has a nice sound. I can’t speak to it being intermediate or professional since I wouldn’t have that to compare to but it is a nice flute for your typical band kid or for a casual player like me. The cosmetic blemish I almost forgot existed was a tiny scratch. Knowing how kids can be I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a scratched flute for my girls in order to save so much money. I hope others have a similar experience with these flutes. Thank you, Jean Paul USA for getting me back playing again! ... show more

  • Super bad
Style: Intermediate Pattern: Flute
Super bad! I needed to put 5 stars so it gets on the top of the reviews! Please do not buy any instrument in this place! We bought a flute a couple of months ago. It arrived on time and everything seemed perfect. And my daughter didn’t say anything but she started complaining about headaches every time she would be playing. On one point the teacher played the instrument and saw that she had to BLOW far TO HARD to get out a tune and that there was no difference in the tunes. ALL SOUNDED THE SAME! I trued to get in touch with anyone. They were hard to find. Costumer service referred me to the technician. He told me to please send in the flute to repair. So I had to get back in touch with costumer service to get a shipping label. They started refusing my emails and when I finally got in touch they told me that I was already to late for a refund! Several emails later they told me that I had to pay for the label and several emails later they told me that I even had to pay for the repair in case there was any! No quick customer service! At all! Very defuse information!!! And since I purchased they didn’t want to know anything else. ... show more

  • Good flute...horrible repair service
Style: Student Pattern: Flute
We got the flute and it was perfect for my daughter's first year of band, plus good price! Unfortunately, one of the keys got stuck open and wouldn't play the note. She pressed down on it harder thinking thats what she needed to do and it wouldn't come back up. I contacted Jean Paul for repair, they responded back immediately and sent us a repair ticket and shipping label quickly. Which I was appreciative of because I didn't want my daughter missing practice. The gentleman informed it could take a day to a week depending on the work. Three weeks and some emails later, he replied that it was finally being sent back. They did inform me that "in these cases the warranty does not cover these fixes as this is not a manufacturer defect but is the result of the keys being pressed too hard however this time we took the liberty to cover all expenses". Yes I am aware the key was pressed down hard, because it got stuck and she thought she just needed to press down harder. **eye roll**. Well, flute finally arrives back...BUT it's now missing the flue head joint! They ship it out the next day...that was Monday. It's now Thursday and I emailed to ask where the missing part is...response: It was shipped out Monday, you should be getting it any day now. We are week 4 of not being able to use her flute. I feel like it should not have taken this long to get it repaired, and it should not have came back with a missing piece. ... show more

  • Nice but damaged Nice but damaged
Style: Intermediate Pattern: Flute
Very very nice flute but came in damaged. The main body near the head joint had scratch marks. Not sure where they came from. There was a sticker in the case with the flute. Stickers usually have abrasive edges and may (opinion) caused the marks. Flute will be returned and another will be sent to replace it. The flute has a nice clear tone and it is highly recommended for students based on the price. Start your student with a decent instrument and they will stick with music for a long time. ... show more
