What our customer's say!

"I Loved It", I originally had a second-hand Yamaha student flute, which was great when I was starting out. It was nickel, and had rather hideous spots all over it, but the sound was great. However, after a while, I wanted a new flute, and I opted for silver to avoid the fading and splotching. After doing careful research for a few weeks, I decided to buy the MayBach flute.

I was wary because it was a brand I hadn't heard of, but the price was great and so were the reviews, so I took a chance. My flute came quickly in fantastic condition and sounded even lovelier. I played it several times a day every day for a month before deciding to write a review, in case it turned out to be shoddily constructed (such as the colored flutes from China, which are made of pot metal and fall apart within the first few weeks), but it has held up, still sounds beautiful, and remains in top-notch condition. I am impressed with it and for the price, it is absolutely a steal.

On a side note, my flute's tuner was extremely difficult to slide. It does come with joint lubrication, which I should have used, but I accidentally threw it out with the box! Oops!

A nice bonus was the carrying case! It's much softer, more attractive, and easier to handle and carry than the typical, hard, student case. To top it off, it comes with a lovely polishing cloth and cleaning rod. I totally trust this seller, and will likely be buying a clarinet from them in the near future.

If you're looking for a good flute at a low price, but you have reservations, you won't be disappointed with this!

"beautiful flute", Got this for my grand daughter and couldn't be more pleased. Exceeded my expectations and she is thrilled (as is her musical Dad) and using it. It is an excellent student flute and a great price. Stunning delivery time, too. Wish I could find as exceptional a buy on a saxophone.

"Great flute", I bought this flute a few months ago after not playing for several years. I was worried, because of the low price, that it would not be a quality instrument, but the other good reviews convinced me. I have found it to be easy to play with good sound, especially the higher notes where most people have trouble. Plus, the carrying strap has come in handy and I wish my flute from my school band days would have had one, as it would have prevented it from being dropped many times when my hands were full otherwise. When it arrived it was packaged securely, and it came within 3 days of ordering.

Overall, I have had no problems at all with this flute, and I do play it regularly.

"6th grade daughter loves this gift", This is an excellent flute for a beginning band student. My daughter loved it so much that she turned in the borrowed instrument from the school. Her music teacher also says it's a great flute is definitly worth every penny paid for. The company does an excellent job with shipping...we are not in the US and still received it in about a weeks time! Awesome!

"Qualilty Sound! Great Price! Quick Ship!", I had questions about this instrument in comparison to both other flutes and the Glenn Edward nickel-plated flute which is more popular as far as a selling item here at Amazon and the man I called at The Instrument Store was so very helpful. He answered my questions and I did not feel pressured.

The flute arrived just 2 days after my order went in and it came securely packaged. I gave it to my teenage daughter who's been playing the flute for the past 7 years and she absolutely loved it. At first, we all thought it had problems but upon careful examination, realized that the flute was well-packed and had small pieces of cork under some of the pads and keys. Once those were removed, it played well, except for the D or E note. My daughter tried to play her musical piece, still with the problems. She cleaned the flute (cleaning pipe came with the flute) and the next day when I sat down to call the company, I played the flute and it sounded beautiful. Our guess is that when she cleaned it with the pipe cleaner, one of the protective pieces was still there and was dislodged by the cleaning cloth.

The flute case is beautiful, sturdy and appears to be high quality. My daughter loves that it's so comfortable to adjust the carrying strap and toss it over her shoulder.

By the way, the answer I was given about the difference between the nickel-plated and the silver-plated flutes is that the nickel will pretty much always remain shiny and the silver will need to be polished often. The nickel will become discolored in places where your hand (or lip) touches it pretty consistently. It will take quite a while to discolor, but once it does it's pretty impossible to get that part shiny again. The nickel flute is great for younger kids, but the silver flute is typically lighter and does have a better sound quality than nickel.

This is a fabulous deal for what you're getting. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to play...it's less expensive than fixing an old flute.
