Great Beginner Flute! Best value for your money
I did the homework so you don't have to.I looked around a long time before deciding on this particular flute. My daughter is starting band and I wanted a decent starter flute that would be easy to play and be durable at the same time. I played in band many years ago and I have seen a large array of different instruments. I can't see how you could a better value than this instrument. First of all it is Triple silver plated not nickel/silver like so many cheap flutes are. It is very obvious when you first see this instrument that is silver plated. I can tell you this instrument is nothing short of stunning in appearance. More importantly than initial appearance is silver can be polished to regain initial luster. I played a brass instrument that had a clear lacquer coat that looked awful after 2 years even though I cleaned my instrument after every use. I had a friend that had a silver plated trumpet that was beautiful after 6 years of playing. For me personally,...

Excellent Beginner Flute
When I first started playing the flute two years ago, I received this flute as a gift from my parents. It has served me faithfully so far, and I have only had to take it for repair once, and that was just a quick tightening of a leaking key.The Gemeinhardt 2SP is a VERY durable flute. It withstood my rough, clumsy, inexperienced fingers and my countless dropping of it. (On carpet, thankfully.)The headjoint, keys, body, and footjoint are all silver-plated. Although the quality of the tone cannot, of course, match those of an intermediate or professional flute, they come out clear and easily and are more than enough for a beginner.I highly recommend the Gemeinhardt 2SP for the flute beginner.Two thumbs up!

beginner flute
I received the flute quick and in good condition exept for some sticky goo on the inside of the body piece, about an inch wide. I took it off with q-tip and vascoline. The embouchure hole is the oval shape (unlike the Jupiters and Armstrong, which is a rounded-off square shape), and requires soft playing to get clear notes. If you like a better tone, and dont mind using more air power, I suggest the other models mentioned. For now Im happy with this model, since the notes are quicker having the small oval shape, and needing less effort and air. For my indoor hobby I find it suitable for soft and quiet playing. The keys are soft to the touch, not bouncy, and you get a black plastic cleaning rod with it.
