| I have a friend that is seriously into flutes and has gotten me started. I really wanted my own and didnt want a used one so I purchased this one. I was pleasantly suprised that it works just like an more expensive flute; functionally. It may not perform quite as good as an expensive one but it was perfect for me and I am happy with it. |
Good for starters...

| I picked this up to start playing again after many years away from the flute. Plays well enough and performs as expected, given the price. If you just want a quality flute to play around with and learn, this is a good choice. |

My daughter's school had contracted with a instrument rental company to rent insturments for students in the school band but the cost of the rental was more than the purchase price from here. The rental company would have provided the same instrument, only used by who knows whom. So my daughter now has a brand new instrument and is slowly learning how to play it.

Buy vs. Rent - great deal!!

My daughter started playing flute for her school band, and we were presented the option to rent this exact same flute for about $180 per year. The rental unit wasn't even new (2-years old - yuk)! If we were to buy the used instrument instead of renting, the music store was willing to sell it to us for $600...
I have no idea how much flutes cost, so I came onto Amazon to check. Sure enough, a brand-spanking new Gemeinhardt 2SP can be had for less than $300! So the choice was very clear - we returned the rented instrument IMMEDIATELY and bought our own. The rest, as they say, is history.
6 months later, the flute is serving us very well. It's the exact same model as the rented units that other students are using, so they tone characteristics are exactly the same. We are so glad that we decided to buy our own new unit instead of paying for the over-priced rental. |
Great Flute for beginner !!

| I am an adult beginner. I knew the brand Gemeinhardt from a music instrument store. They strongly recommended student flute of Gemeinhardt and Jupiter. But normally, a student flute of these two brand costs $500-600 after discount. I was excited when I found this one with such low price (of course, it may not be the same model they showed me in the store.) It is so beautiful,and comes with a three year warranty. I asked my friend who had been playing flute for many many years to try it for me. She said this flute was excellent. I strongly recommended this one! |
