Stellar Basic Flute Key of G - Native American Style Flute

This flute arrived a day ahead of schedule. It was packed well and had no dings or scratches. A very good start! Of course, I immediately brought out my smart phone with the instrument tuner. A moderate flow of breath (velocity for midi users) produces a tone that is slightly flat and a firm breath brings it to true. The tone was actually more pure and sweet than I like. I took the bird off and used a dremel to make a shallow furrow along the middle of the bird to create a bit of turbulence and was very satisfied. The finish was standard and adequate. I take my flute out to drum circles and ceremonies so I wanted a bit more. I sanded it down, applied a bit if Mahogany dye and a stupid number of coats of polyurethane. Why five stars when I did so much work on it? Because I like working with wood. It's very zen so I would do it anyways and I do bring my flute to some rough places so I need a bit more protection. All the work I did is a useless gesture if the pipe isn't right and this pipe is right! On this flute, Amazing Grace is, well, amazing. Silk Road is unbelievable... I can get 3 different pentatonic scales and a diatonic scale and I've just started getting acquainted with my new friend. I've had occasion since I bought it to play it in impromptu gatherings and the sound remained true from the base note to the arias. That's the difference between an instrument and a wall decoration. Five stars because this product exceeded my expectations.EDIT 03/2022: Still enjoying this flute immensely. I play it for at least a few minutes every day and it's still my favorite out of the four I own. I live in high desert so I've played this flute in weather from 20 to 110 degrees (fahrenheit) and from 8% to 80% relative humidity and been satisfied every time. I know the science and crafting necessary to achieve that and I'm impressed.

It is a beautiful work of art and plays just as beautifully!

I absolutley love this flute. It was easy to learn how to play and instructions are included. You can find tutorials easily on youtube as well. It is a soothing hobby and really relaxes me to play.
