Cecilio Closed Hole C Flute - Musical Instrument, Beginner/Intermediate Flute in Band & Orchestra, Nickel

I wanted to buy a flute for a long time but the high prices were a problem for me. This type of intruments are a saver for people like me that want to try the instrument to see if it's for you or not without paying a lot.The flute come in a nice case with a lot of accessories including a little music but with tunes and fingers which is nice. The quality of the flute is nice and the keys fill well made and move easily. Mine didn't have any leaks in the key but it can not be the case for everyone but a least is an easy fix.Small problem that I had was that I needed to use the cork grease even though a lot of professional say you should not, but it was necessary because I couldn't put the flute together without the cork grease. It sounds nice but I can't talk to much about it because it is literally my first time putting my hands on a flute100% recommended.

The Cecilio open hole C-foot is an outstanding value for a mass-produced flute. Tones responsive and clear from c1 to Bb3; high notes b3 and above are unreliable. Surprising pianississimo (very, very soft) to strong fortissimo. Lacks the heft and sturdy feel of other name-brand introductory flutes, possibly due to use of thinner spec materials. Silver plating is quite good; small wrinkles noted on the key Y-arms, but only under close inspection. Interior bore is polished. Joint tenons and sockets a bit gritty out-of-the-box, but a little rubbing with a silver polishing cloth nicely smooths out the feel. Head joint cork required placement adjustment; a simple, basic task.

Look at the price...I mean wow, I can't believe that Cecilio makes such a quality flute for so little. Me spouse plays the flute and she was impressed. Is it as good as a solid silver flute with gold tassels and neon lights? Of course not. But this flute sounds absolutely amazing and for a beginner, is hands down the way to go. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't sound, feel, or play badly at all and unless you are into flutes, you probably never could tell the difference. I am just giddy that such a nice playing flute, with case and accessories comes for such a nice price. Thanks Cecilio!Helpful? Please click "helpful" below to make me feel good, I love to help!

It's pretty good.. two valves were leaking out of the box. One pretty bad, seriously effecting playability. As a new flutist, it took me a minute to figure this out. Luckily YouTube tutorials walked me though the adjustments. Keep this in mind if this is for a beginner because that had the potential to be pretty frustrating if you didn't know what was going on. For the money though, is pretty impressive. The accessories are great.

The media could not be loaded. I started flute a day ago and i can play 7 different notes while while being in tune, i recommend this flute as a 6th grader that plays a brass instrument! Although its kinda airy tho but if you use enough air it won't.

Great flute for the price! It sounds awesome!

Good plays like a charm

An awesome, good quality flute
