Christmas present; I like it still after a couple of monthsI am writing this review as a complete novice. My only experience has been with a bamboo flute for many years. I figure it's about time to learn the basics with a new flute. (There are many good, basic texts, but that's not the focus of this review).
The flute is beautiful. The lacquer finish seems durable-- I have been careful with the instrument. The mechanisms all seem to work properly. After a couple of months (not daily use) one key makes the faintest noise when depressing it. The sound/notes seem good; at least that is the feedback when playing the flute for other flute players. The instrument comes packed from the factory very securely. The included nylon/canvas case is very adequate protection. The cleaning rod & rag is a necessary toot that is included. I notice the price seems to fluctuate; I paid less than $200 early Dec '05. (The silver plated flute also by Hamlin for less may be a better deal, in other words). I do hope to find time to continue practicing. Again, I am just a novice, but since there weren't any reviews for this instrument, I thought it might be helpful to say this buyer is satisfied with this instrument. Have fun!
