I bought this product as an introduction to the flute, since I am a saxophonist and wanted to double on the flute.
I ordered the flute, and two days later it already arrived at my door. Thomann Immediately shipped the item, only 10 minutes after I ordered it.
The flute is amazing quality for the money, for only 148 euro you get a perfect study flute or a backup flute. Intonation is good, the sound is good, the mechanism feels nice under the fingers. The only con I can find is that the case feels very cheap to the touch and also has a very strong smell, but it will do the trick. Don't expect a flute that will be sufficient for a first chair orchestra position, but in small groups, to practice or just as a backup you won't find a better one. I feel that this flute gives you a lot, maybe the most, bang for the buck out there!
If you want to play flute, and aren't sure to fully commit yourself to the instrument or wan't a backup, just grab this one!
