Signature Music Open Hole Silver Low C Flute 16 Holes 2820S

Arrived well packed with a nice sturdy flute case, plugs and cleaning cloth. My daughter has used it for several weeks now and seems to like it. The plugs that come with the flute fit well and are a great alternative while my daughter learns proper fingering for open hole flute. This was a nice, clean, shiny flute that sounds great. I have no negatives so far. It was a great price for what we received...great for intermediate student that is still learning.

Bought for my daughter but she prefers the Geimenhardt flute instead. Also, the picture is false advertising. I thought it came in a hard case but instead it came with a cheap soft bag. I bought both a Geimenhardt which came as advertised and this flute. My daughter do refuses to use this one and only uses the Geimenhardt. Her teacher too seems to agree. I can not recommend this flute to even a new student.

Came broken

At first I was incredibly happy for the first few months I received it as a birthday gift. The tone was bright and sounded really good according to my BD (band director) however, I lightly dropped the flute recently. No damage taken, except for the first tiny trill key leaking and I couldn't get sound out. I recently took it to the shop and the technician said there were MULTIPLE leaks other than the one I had noticed. For the $150 the flute cost, the repairs are $90 to get it back to 'playing order' as they call it in the shop. I'd rather just cut the loss and get a new, nice flute rather than pay for the repairs. I'd say invest in a nice flute than this unless you need a flute for marching band that can get beaten up.
