| I am very happy with this purchase. It is a beautiful, well made flute. It has a crisp, beautiful sound and came exactly when they said it would. I like that it isn't as heavy as my other older model and the case is heavy duty and easy to carry with the shoulder strap. |
Not a smart purchase

I bought this flute a few months ago for my daughter, who is in middle school band. It worked okay for a couple of weeks, but then it developed problems (2 notes would not play). I sent it back, and the company cheerfully sent me a replacement. All was well until 2 weeks ago, when it broke again. This time, 4 notes would not play. A technician visited the school, took a look at it, and managed to fix 2 of the notes. We then took it to the local music store, where we were told that it cannot be fixed (supposedly because it's made of base metal). With over 2 months remaining in the school year, a concert tomorrow night and festival coming up soon, we're in a real pinch!
I managed to find a used Gemeinhardt 2SP flute from a friend of my older daughter. I don't know how old the flute is, but all the notes play and it has a much better tone quality than the new Maybach flute. It is my hope that it will get my daughter through the rest of middle school band so I won't have to rent an instrument or buy something expensive.
I'm sorry I wasted my hard-earned money on the Maybach flute, and I cannot recommend it to anyone. It didn't even last 6 months! |
We love it.

After several months, my daughter still loves this flute! Her teacher said it's a nice flute and it tunes easily. The flute is beautiful, plays well, and cleans easily. The case is wonderful. She no longer has to hold a handle because the case comes with a nice strap so she can hold it over her shoulder. We couldn't be happier with the product and it's already paid for itself when adding up the rental fees.
edited to add: At approximately 5 months out, the zipper broke on the case and my daughter is holding it together with a rubber band. Still no complaints on the flute. |
