  • Flutophone vs Selmer's songflute
Both the flutophone, and the songflute are very close brothers. They share the same volume body, same fingerholds, and same materials, and both are tuned to the key of C, and both are about as loud as the other volume wise. Both have extrusions on where the fingerholes for easier playing, and the same distance of the fingerholes from the soundhole. Both have 7 top holes and one bottom hole, although the flutophone has an eight hole right next to the low C, to play the C#. The differences are minute. While Selmer's songflute is more basic and cheaper made, it has better finger positions, curved with the hand. The Flutophone's holes are more straight (in line), like on a recorder flute. To play a low C# on the songflute, one has to halfway remove the pinky from the tonehole, which can be tricky, while the Flutophone has an extra hole there for the C#. This does not affect playability in any way, as it's just as hard to play the C# on either one of the flutes, and the extra hole isn't felt anyway. The Flutophone has a wider, but more narrow mouthpiece by a millimeter or two, resulting in slightly less airflow, but a more defined tone (like a recorder, bright, clear tone), while the Songflute has a higher airflow, resulting in more wind noises and more body, a bit more sounding like an occarina. The flutophone is longer, partly because the mouthpiece is longer, but also because it has an added bell on the bottom for projection of sound. I'm quite sure without this bell, the songflute would have been the louder flute. The Flutophone, though clearly the higher quality made instrument, surprisingly was off on the low D by as much as 25ct or more! The songflute pretty much was tuned correctly. This is a bit of a bummer for this more beautiful instrument to be off tonewise, although only on one note. Overall, I would say that the cheaper Songflute from Selmer is an easier instrument to play, and is correct tonal wise. The Flutophone is the nicer looking instrument, being dualtone color. Either one are great flutes to learn on, but the tonal error on the flutophone, and it's slightly higher price are reason for me to give one star off. ... show more

  • Love these things
The media could not be loaded. It's a hit right in the feels. Played one of these in school when I was young as did both of my parents. A great little gift for the musically inclined.

  • A wonderful small flute that is fun to play.
At my advanced age I decided it was time to learn how to play various musical instruments. I purchased two Chinese flutes, which I still cannot play, as well as two kazoos, which anyone can play who can hum, four harmonicas, which I can play about 80 songs with them at this time, a small 9 inch flute and two Trophy 11 inch Flutophones, one black and one white one. I practice the most with my harmonicas but I also practice every day for a short time with my black Flutophone. Unlike the small 9 inch flute, this Flutophone has a much clearer and more pleasing sound. On the box it came in I learned the history of the Flutophone. It was designed in 1943 as an inexpensive way to teach children about the fantastic world of music. More than 35 million children have been influenced by first playing the Flutophone and moving on to other more advanced musical instruments. Even today, the Flutophone is used by some band directors and music teachers. The price cannot be beat for this Black Trophy musical instrument, which in a white model. It has a full chromatic scale, visual finger guides; it is pitched in “C” and is black plastic. It also has a wonderful sound. If you are a beginner (Like I am) to music and desire to learn a musical instrument for your own personal fun and enjoyment, you might want to check out this Black Flutophone. Rating: 5 Stars.

  • Stocking stuffer; exactly like the white one, except more expensive
I wanted to get a black flutophone partly because it looked like it might be made of a better material than the white one, but in fact it is the same thing (the box shows white, and a label which indicates actual color), so unless you really want a black one, you'd be better off getting one of the white ones. This one has free shipping if for amazon Prime members, but at $6.64, it is still higher than the white one which sells for $2.44 + $2.10 shipping. If you want to get more for stocking stuffers or a class, you can order five for $13.50 + $5.99 shipping, or 4.10 each. These flutophones are very simple and cheap instruments, and I think, while they are fun, are probably only worth about $4.00. As far as the range of notes, it starts at middle C (I checked on my piano, and it is pretty accurate), and goes up an octave to the next C, plus two notes (D and E). (That is Do through Do, with an extra re and mi added on top) Playing a C scale is very easy as far as fingering, but it also will play a chromatic scale, but this involves a little more complex fingering, not too hard, though. There is a little fingering chart included, but no music. If you loose the chart, or want more help with the fingering and sounds, I found a wonderful website [...]--sounds and all. Also you can watch a few flutophone videos on youtube, from children playing "Mary had a little Lamb" to quite involved solos by adults. You can as buy a book with basic lessons on this (amazon) website, or, if you already read music, try out some of your own sheet music, esp anything written in C scale to start. You can also have a good time just improvising with the sounds! So I am going to try this out with some Christmas songs just for fun, and hope that my family will also play with me, and maybe even harmonize. Enjoy! ... show more

  • I LOVE THIS!! IT'S SEPERABLE TOO!!
I love this instrumemt!! The quality of build and sound is great!! It is seperable (two pieces) that makes cleaning easier and you can tune it as well, because if that...make pitch change as in recorders that can do that as well when seperable. It even has a thumb rest!!
