I am not an experienced flute player. I play piano and I work with music software; I just bought this as a cheap instrument to play casually for fun. So I don't really know anything much about flutes but I'm REALLY enjoying learning this.Maybe it doesn't have the best sound in the world - for this price you can't expect that. But the tuning is good, and there don't seem to be any construction problems. Both the joints and all the pads are secure. It also comes with a good amount of cleaning supplies and a great quality case. The paint on the body does start to scratch off quite quickly but that doesn't bother me.Overall I am very happy with this instrument. I am hesitant to give it five stars simply because I am not an expert on flutes, but I am really pleased with this. I wouldn't recommend it to an experienced player but for a student or someone who plays for fun, it's a great choice.UPDATE 1 YEAR LATER: Still going strong. A lot of the colour paint has peeled off, so if you're going to buy this just because it looks cool, you'll be disappointed. However the intonation is still good, the pads are still in top condition. One of the screws on the arms has a slight tendency to become loose but this is easily fixed with a screwdriver. I've knocked it around a fair bit and it hasn't got dented or damaged at all. Still extremely happy with my purchase! However I've noticed the price on amazon has gone up quite a bit since then, it was 7k when I bought it.
