My daughter loves this flute. She is in her third year of her high school marching band and the flute has just performed wonderfully. It has a beautiful, rich tone to it. Would definitely purchase again.

La relación calidad precio es muy buena...así como su utilidad para aprender, muy buena presentación, y su linea y color la hacen muy llamativa a la hora despertar interés en aprender a usarla...y no sólo a los niños.

If you're too good for anything but the best, keep moving. For normal people, this is a good looking, very decent sounding flute. The keys work fine and the pads seem decent. It would make a great first flute or second practice flute. Also great if you don't want to take an expensive flute on tour or for marching band use. Surprisingly good for the price.

Well set up to play, initially at least. But after only six months of intermittent playing, the instrument failed mechanically, making it impossible to play. Avoid this seller !

This review refers to the silver plated 165 Dols Glory flute I bought because of its B foot so as to better play violin pieces where the low B pops up quite often. Although it remains to be seen how the flute does in a few months, I am very surprised about the quality of this low-price instrument. So far I used a Pearl Flute bought about 45 years ago with a silver head joint and a C Foot. I also briefly used a very expensive silver-gold alloy handmade Natsuki with a C Foot bought about 25 years ago. Although it sounds ,unbelievable, I do better on the cheap Glory "marching band" flute playing classical pieces. I still have problems with the low B though, because I am simply not yet used to it . I also have problems with the last two highest notes (B and C) .The B and C at the very top as well the lowest B, hardly ever occur. I never met them in the 4 or 5 years of my playing primarily Bach and a little music of the classical era. For this reason I hardly practiced these notes. It is surely not a problem of the flute but me. In violin music to which I now turn they do occur occasionally and I am confident the Glory will do justice to them with sufficient practice.. The flute does extremely well on the most frequently used tonal range and one may play it softly very easily. After a brief warm up, I could play the Glory so softly that next-door neighbours would not notice me at all . Well known problem tones of the flute such as C Sharp, 2nd octave sound pretty good on it. I guess for reasons of physics a perfect flute does not exist. Some tones naturally come beautifully and some are tough to produce. Given that, it seems a good idea if flute makers to compromise on notes that hardly occur. As to price I am not so keen on expensive handmade flutes because I want to play without worrying constantly about theft. Given todays technology and mass production, I tend to trust a custom made flute more than a handmade model, (unless I had very specific needs, that may not be mass produced) . 'As to metall, yes you do hear the difference. Gold silver, coupro -nickel, wood sound different. But it does not mean that you get a poorer sound on a cheaper metal, the sound is not worse but simply different. Most flutes whether, gold, silver , wood or coupro nickel sound gorgeous if the player does justice to them. The cheap models seem to sound more tender, light and fragile .It seems hard to produce a real broad, volumous sound on them which I do not mind since I wanted a flute and not a trumpet. Also, if you are a hobby player like me, a tender sound is better since you do not want to be noticed by neighbours. 'All in all I am so far very happy with my new flute. It looks pretty solid. If it lasts one year it was worth it. Padding an expensive flute after one year costs more than a new cheap flute. 'This flute seems an excellent option (at least for a hobby player that does not play in a symphony). I tried to put the silver head joint of my Pearl onto the Glory flute that one did not work
