Was a gift and the person I bought it for will not stop talking about itNo really they won't stop. Please make them stop. J/k but not kidding about the instrument it's really well made and sounds wonderful thank you

This flute was purchased to replace a rental. The rental has been used for a year @ $20 a month. The pads needed to be replaced on the rental and I did not want to pay $160 for upkeep that I felt should be included. We are into one month of using the new flute with no complaints. The end attachment was difficult to attach/detach to begin with. My daughter can now attach/detatch with no assistance. Hopefully this flute will last long term or at least last her flute interest. I will up date as we go.

Background:I am an intermediate flutist, my main instrument is in for a major overhaul, so I decided to get a cheaper instrument for the downtime!The good bits:Well I am completely astonished by this flute, I had tried other Chinese made instruments and they all had flaws, keys not sealing properly, badly synced, unable to play low notes etc. This is the first time that one of these instruments has been fully functional out of the box! Low C plays wonderfully, all notes sound as they should! I may have gotten lucky, as for 60ish dollars I doubt there's any QC, but this one is just good! Could perfectly be a learners instrument.The meh:Obviously this doesn't sound like a 6000 usd flute, and intonation is a bit off especially on higher notes, but that is to be expected for the price.The bad:The flute joints are extremely tight, add to that the fact that this coating seems a bit fragile, and you will probably lose bits of plating around the joints (see second picture).In short:For 60ish usd I got a perfectly functional flute while my main instrument is in service, I will probably take this when I travel!

I purchased the Deloitte flute for a beginner, and I’m really impressed with the quality right out of the box. The packaging is excellent — everything is neatly arranged, and the case is perfect for storage and protection, with a clean, professional look.The flute itself has a beautiful silver finish that looks much more expensive than it is. It feels sturdy, well-made, and includes all the accessories you need to get started: cleaning kit, tuning rod — a really nice touch for a beginner’s set.

Excited for my daughter to start learning. Great quality and carrying case.

This is a great beginner flute and is more affordable than renting. Comes with a nice case and made of solid material.

Great for beginners and Cheeper then renting one

I brought this for my son he loves it.
