I am giving this 5 stars because it was exactly what I thought it'd be. With that said, I found this flute for such a fantastic price and just HAD to get it. I didn't want to spend too much simply because I wasn't sure if I'd remember how to play or if I'd still get enjoyment out of it. I unfortunately didn't have my old flute anymore and have been wanting to get one for a while. I used to play the flute for about 6+ years when I was younger (about 15 years ago). I will play till pads die and then will be a display piece. Overall excellent value like for the money. On the end if you play flute with B foot using more advanced fingerings by playing C foot flute you can revisit fingerings you stopped using and this can even help with the technique. I recommend to put a bit of grease which is included especially on sliding foot spot you will be glad you did when disassembling it on the end of session.The head joint fits lighter on mine than foot so pay attention to that when assembling first time. Love the small screwdriver included and extras. Of course better not to drop it at all but sometimes that may happen. So better to drop 80 dollar flute than 1000+ dollar flute. When I was learning the flute I noticed that some fingerings are very tough on the beginning and flute can be accidentally dropped. Children love colors so the best to order for them the color they like and that can inspire them to play and practice. So if you order it just let it play and if you wanna judge it then do it on the end of the session. Opened and startEd to play and my sound was getting better and better that what usually happens during practice session. I own other flutes but wanted to check out value for the money and I’m nicely surprised. 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. I've knocked it around a fair bit and it hasn't got dented or damaged at all. One of the screws on the arms has a slight tendency to become loose but this is easily fixed with a screwdriver. However the intonation is still good, the pads are still in top condition. 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. I wouldn't recommend it to an experienced player but for a student or someone who plays for fun, it's a great choice. I am hesitant to give it five stars simply because I am not an expert on flutes, but I am really pleased with this. Overall I am very happy with this instrument. The paint on the body does start to scratch off quite quickly but that doesn't bother me. It also comes with a good amount of cleaning supplies and a great quality case. Both the joints and all the pads are secure. But the tuning is good, and there don't seem to be any construction problems. Maybe it doesn't have the best sound in the world - for this price you can't expect that. So I don't really know anything much about flutes but I'm REALLY enjoying learning this. I play piano and I work with music software I just bought this as a cheap instrument to play casually for fun. Red Bull also used Papageno’s entrance aria Der Vogelfänger Bin Ich Ja (’I’m a bird catcher’) in one of their ‘Red Bull gives you wings’ adverts, which showed a cat relaxing after devouring a bird that he caught at height.I am not an experienced flute player. Whether it’s the Overture played as background music at the mall on an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or a music box on an episode of House playing Papageno’s Das klinget so herrlich, The Magic Flute has definitely made its way into the pop culture landscape.īeing one of the most famous arias in opera, it’s no surprise that The Queen of the Night’s aria Der Hölle Rache has featured in many television programmes, films and commercials, such as Amazon Alexa and Volvo. Ahead of Daisy Evans’s new production as part of Welsh National Opera’s Spring Season, we explore the opera and its use in popular culture. With a witty story full of magic and catchy tunes that even those who have never seen Mozart’s classic will be familiar with, it’s no wonder that The Magic Flute has a reputation as being the perfect first opera.
