Really surprised with how much I like this little flute. My 9 year old daughter feels more comfortable playing this than the beginner flute we have. It weighs lighter and not as tiring for her. It is short enough that it puts her in a more comfortable position as well. Plus I love that it can be left out of the case for easy access. Which makes it easier to have her get excited to play.
I’m an adult beginner and I love this flute it’s brilliant. For me personally it’s much better than the nuvo toot as this layout resembles a real flute, it is extremely light with keys that plays down to a D note, and has the same lip attachments that’s included on the nuvo toot (first note lip plate and the standard flute lip plate). If a very young infant is interested in playing the flute the progression order is right to start off with the nuvo toot then this the JFlute then the next one up the student flute 2.0. This is really a fantastic instrument, it’s fun to play learn and progress I am really pleased with it. My goal from this, is to play my 3011E flute perfectly.
Update ….. Would have preferred the cleaning rod with the cleaning cloth (like you use to provide with the older flute model) instead of the piece of string and chain link attached to the cloth, because the string has detached itself from the cloth. Luckily for me this is not my 1st flute, so I have a rod but for new beginners it would be better to also provide a cleaning rod as well.
The only con is they don’t explain how to remove the key cap extensions so be very careful. The A & G caps simply slide to the left and detach, DONT try to snap them off. And the G# extension has a little notch that locks it in place, simply lift the little arm on it and it’ll slide off. I tried to include a picture to show what I mean. Also it would be nice if they had included some extra black silicone caps because once you take off the extensions there’s nothing to cover the keys with.
Overall I’m in love with this flute and would recommend it to everyone.
P.S I also bought the upgrade kit which is why I showed the second lip plate on the straight head joint. Buying the kit saved me money vs buying the student flute upfront, so it’s like I got two instruments for less
This plays as well or better than any of the student flutes I have owned. For my skill level it’s perfect. I owned a nuvo dood before and was not impressed with its playability or musicality but this thing is a real instrument and if I was a beginner or had a kid interested in trying flute , I think this one would get a lot of mileage before they needed an upgrade . Spending of upgrades I got the longer neck and the extension for the low c. That’s a must if you are not just goofing off. The upgrades fit perfectly in the very cool case it comes with too!
En general, es una linda flauta, portatil, puede llevarse a exteriores y hasta mojarse. El sonido es casi idntico al de una flauta transversa tradicional, y es ms resistente por lo que es un buen instrumento de enseanza. El nico punto negativo es que es mucho ms incmoda para sostener que una transversa de metal por el mayor grosor, incluso siendo ms ligera, siendo cansado tocar despus de cierto tiempo. Para gente amateur o que viaje o sea descuidada, o para principiantes est perfecta.
