    i would say this product is good for beginners. its fairly easy other than the fact that its hard to hit lower notes, it seems you have to push a lot for them and it will give you a couple headaches until you get used to pushing that hard. the embouchure hole is kind of like rounded rectangle, so if you’ve played any previous flutes you may or may not have to change your embouchure to fit this flute. plus id like to mention that the gloves are WAYY soft to be used in a marching band, the flute would just fall off into your palm. i find that this flute makes it difficult to hit f and e, in the high register and in the low register. its super light compared to my current flute and the keys feel weird to press on.

    Very pretty flute and quite solidly made. Ideal first flute really. I was prepared for it to be rubbish bearing in mind how cheap it is but it definitely isn’t. I got it as a spare and am very impressed.

    This flute is honestly amazing. But to be fair I was still surprised with the price; with the price I paid for, the quality, the design and the performance of the flute has exceeded my expectations. It came in a beautiful case with some extras, so it’s actually really easy for me to take it around, like when I go to my flute lessons or the studio. It actually comes with a fingering chart too, this is really helpful for a clumsy and forgetful guy like myself. I love how premium the flute feels with the materials used to make it but at the same time feeling light. I would definitely suggest buying this flute for anyone, whether you are just starting out playing this instrument or a pro; this flute can satisfy both a beginner’s and a pro’s needs!

    It is not easy to play on it if you do not have experience but my husband is playing a standard flute and really wanted to try this one. It came in a storage bag with lots of accessories, very well made and looks much more expensive then it is. I think it is good flute to learn but also will
    Be great for someone who know how to play i

    Wanted to learn the flute for a very long time, but was finding it hard to find one at a good price. This whole kit is brilliant, I have managed to pick it up in under a week! Must buy if wanting to learn!

    Purchased this to attempt to learn the flute and I’m slowly but surely getting there!
    At first I was sceptical about purchasing due to thinking it was “cheap” but I was wrong, the quality is there and it makes a beautiful sound. The buttons on the top are sturdy and well built making me think this will last me a good while before needing to purchase a new one / upgrade.
    I’d recommend to anyone wanting to learn the flute or as a gift for others wanting to learn an instrument!

    I bought this as I wanted to learn a new instrument but I was not willing to pay a lot of money for a very good flute. However, I was really really impressed with the quality of the flute. It is heavy and the metal feels very sturdy. I’ve also managed to play some simple songs on it like Hot Cross Buns and it sounds quite good!

    It also comes with an excellent range of accessories such as the carrying case, the stand which I love as well as all of the cleaning tools needed.

    Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a beginners flute that still sounds good and can be played well.

    Fantastic abs affordable beginners flute.

    Nice beginners flute for this price and comes with a complete package (comes with Hard Case, Cleaning Rod, Cloth, Flute Swab, Screwdriver Gloves and finger chart). I am not an expert with flutes but when I showed to to my music teacher, he is amazed to know the price of this superb flute and the accessories. The mechanics are functioning OK, no dead keys, or springs. The key action is the most responsive and the springs have a strong reaction. have to see how this lasts.
    here starts my journey to learn another musical instrument 😉

    Great package for beginners which doesn’t cost a lot and in same time delivers good quality package.
    It came with double zipper waterproof nylon case. It has E key system ideal for younger beginners.
    Also has cork at top of the bore which limited capacity to move.
    Also came with finger chart , great for learners.
    Overall nice package , great quality considering it’s cost it’s great value for money. It also comes with carry case, shoulder strap, cleaning rod and flute stand.

    Precise and sturdy key mechanisms, lovely silver finish, no imperfections on the construction of the flute and most of all, a brilliant round and powerful sound! It comes in an excellent flute nylon case with an extra compartment for all accessories!
    Definitely not only for beginners, but for all of those who don’t want to spend many hundreds of euros on a flute of a known brand, but still want a well built, fantastically sounding flute for a great great price!
    Excellent value for money!

    I learnt flute at school and to this day still wished i had kept up the lessons. I saw the flute on sale just before xmas and took the plunge and bought it along with some beginner flute music books. Whilst all the books and leaflets gave adequate information about playing the instrument i found it so much easier to watch a youtube tutorial. After that i was flying through the books and playing all the tunes. The flute is well made, a gorgeous teal blue colour and the note/hole buttons/keys feel well made and move effortlessly. The sound that comes from the flute is mellow and low. Overall i was extremely pleased with the instrument and would highly recommend.

  21. CharlesHeld says:

     United Kingdom

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersThis flute is perfect for beginners. The flute itself plays brilliantly, and the mid-range notes are warm and resonant. The lip plate is comfortable, not too skinny or too thick, and doesn’t feel as if it will be bent. In regards to the additional products included with the instrument, the case is incredibly well-made (possibly even better than the case that came with my 1000+ concert flute!) and the other gadgets included such as the stand, small screwdriver and cleaning rod and cloths are all great value for money, which, if bought separately would probably cost as much as the entire bundle!
    I would highly recommend this to any beginner (even up to Grade 5), and I am even considering taking this with me to my next concert as a back-up!

    Great value for money with a great sound, highly recommend.

    Excellent Beginner's Flute

    Used to learn flute at school for a while and at the ripe old age of 62 thought I would give it another bash, but really didn’t want to spend a fortune, so this product was the ideal choice. Great value for money package, nice useable instrument and a cool blue colour which was a bonus. I was employed in the musical instrument industry most of my working life and sold some of the top brands, so I was cautious about purchasing a product so inexpensive. However it has surpassed my expectations and I highly recommend this product.

I am not familiar with flutes so I can only go by what she has said but she feels it sounds better (which I will agree with) and feels better to use than the one at school. She is very impressed!

    The case is good and contains everything she needs to keep it clean. Definitely a great buy.

    it’s a very good flute for beginners/ intermediate level, easy to play to, no problems at all, great value for money.
    when I studied the flute, about 25 years ago, my parents opted for a borrowed instrument at first and, after I got some experience, they purchased an used, quite dodgie one, that I could only use for study. if I had back then an instrument like the one that I recently bought, I would probably perform outstandingly.
    so, for me it’s a dream come true.
    P.S. I hope I won’t have any problems in the future but, just in case, I purchased a two year insurance from Amazon.

    I am a complete beginner on flute and tenor sax this year, thanks to prime day I got the Eastar EFL-2 silver plated flute for 58! There are saxophone ligatures that cost more than this. Unbelievable.

    Right, in the box there is everything you need to get going including a slightly confusing fingering chart. I recommend getting the flue app called fingercharts, much better. I have been impressed with the overall quality of the product even though mine had a small area of black tarnish on the body. The key and pads seem good to me.

    The key feature to note is the screwdriver…….i was struggling to get a clean low G and anything out of the low F. The reason was the G sharp key required half a turn on the adjustment screw to seat properly. Much better results.

    Overall happy with the flute.
    Thanks.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersThere is nothing to dislike about this flute. I bought it to replace my much loved 45+ year old flute which is beyond economic repair. I am not a professional flute player, but in my opinion, it has a lovely tone. It comes in a lightweight case with the bottom section for the instrument and the top section to house the very generous supply of cleaning rod, pull through cloth for the long section, polishing cloth and gloves plus a very useful foldup stand. Fantastic value for money. Being cupro nickel, careful cleaning of the outside will pay dividends, but this should not be a put-off factor. Perhaps suitable for a beginner or someone like me who plays in a Church music group. This is one very pleased and delighted puirchaser.

    Came with everything in advert very quick delivery.
    Now for some facts ,this instrument is very light weight sound quality is good but naturally if at intermediate orchestra level ide be looking at a high speck instrument ,the colour is bright so for a school orchestra it would be good value and for a begginer it has everything you need without it being too pricey
    There was no sharp unfinished bits on mine as some others had .all the pads are good quality. You may have to tighten the tiny screws so keys close properly but that’s fine as it comes with tiny screw driver.
    Had my first flute now over 20yrs but too costly for repair hence buying this flute for hobbie. Not sure how well this flute will last but deffently as others say a great begginers flute.

    This has to be a five star review. The flute fits exactly the kind of music I create. I can a strong sound and navigate the instrument with confidence and relative ease, if I may say. I can’t fault it. I’ve been using it to create pieces that reflect the ups and (mostly) downs of lockdowns, not clear on rules and where we may be headed. So this flute is close to my heart. Mine however is green rather than blue. And how can it be this cheap? I’ve spent as much money on a penny whistle.

    Excellent value for money. I suspect that some of the other reviews that say things such as they could not get low notes and they could only play it for a short time and then could not get any notes is simply down to technique. I play a number of instruments but am new to the flute and this is a great instrument to learn on and to play. And I just love the colour.

    As you can imagine, this is a western concerto flute, and it behaves as such. The experience feels extremelly close if not identical to student flutes that have a price tag of 400 pounds. (at least in my opinion). To-go product if you want to just “try out” or go a bit beyond the beginner level, worth every penny.

    Reminder that this is a c-foot flute, that means the lowest note you can play is middle C or C4. Unlike other flutes that have b-foot that allows you to play one semitone below C4: B3… Last time I checked, the price jump for this small note is mind-boggling.

    Did I mention it comes with case, wiping things and screw driver? Amazing deal. Would recommend to anybody who wants to try things out.

    A bit hard to do the very very low notes…….but I am starting my flute journey, so possibly could be more to do with me than the flute.
    At the very least, it will teach me the fingerings and breathing and holding etc etc etc before I decide I fancy a Geimanhardt or something to progress onto.

    This product is incredible for the price. 80 for the silver model. Open holes which are bunged off.

    Little to no difference between this and an entry level flute at around 200-400. You’d need a 500+ to seriously appreciate any subtle difference. This will simply not matter to a beginner flautist. Do not spend any more on a beginner flute than this one. An advanced flautist can get a really nice sound out of this also.

    Lovely accessories it came with.

    Ordered this flute as I had always wanted one and wasn’t able to afford the 200+ they usually cos. I love this flute soooo much, once I learn to play it I’ll love it even more! Great quality, quick delivery. Can’t fault it!!!!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI haven’t played flute for over 20 years and missed it, so having an affordable flute like this is a great way to get back into it, I like that it already comes with cleaning cloths etc. However the footjoint is stiff, and I am finding that, though I can get notes out of it, a few bars into a piece I’m practicing the sound dies out and becomes raspy. In some ways this is okay as I’m getting used to the fingering and practice again, but I do want to get some sound out of my flute when I change notes! Hopefully this is just teething problems and not a lasting issue.

    Great value for a beginner flute compared to the ones I’ve seen priced around. Not an expert so not sure what difference spending another 100 on a different branded beginner flute gets you, but I had this one checked out by an expert and was told it was an excellent flute to begin. I’d definitely recommend and it’s a very nice finish too.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersFor the price I was very pleasantly surprised with this flute. I’m a novice so don’t know if it’s good compared to other flutes in terms of musicality, but a friend who’s a music teacher has played it and said it’s a nice instrument. Comes in a lovely case with the extras, really well packaged and really feels like I’ve treatmd myself to a quality instrument for a very reasonable price. Now I just have to practice practice practice! To any adult buying one of these, I’d say invest in at least a couple of lessons – I’d watched all the youtube videos etc and could hardly geta note out of it, but after just half an hour with an experienced teacher I could consistently get a clear note, knew how to put flute together safely and play a few notes so was up and running. Well worth the investment.

    This is a great flute for the price. The first one I ordered had a fault but the return and replacement happened quickly and smoothly. Beautiful tone, easy to play, excellent all round.

    The tone is comparable to many more expensive instruments,
    The build quality and the included cleaning and servicing kit makes it a bargain not to be missed!

    Golden Review Award: 26 From Our UsersYou really do get amazing value for money with this flute – in appearance you wouldn’t know it only cost 66, it’s ready to play straight out of the case, has a beautiful tone, and the keys are the right amount of springy. It’s been a very long time since I’ve played so all my problems (slight airiness) is most likely user error and sloppy technique, and not the instrument itself. Absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants to give it a try but aren’t sure they’re ready to commit to the expense of a better known/more professional brand.

    Edit: It is worth noting that at 12 days, with a minimum on 1 hour practice daily, the coating on the lip plate has become significantly tarnished, and two keys are also beginning to darken in the same way. I have yet to get a jewellery cloth to see if it can be reversed, or if it’s a more permanent issue with a coating rubbing off. It is however still in tune and holding up nicely in every other way.

    Golden Review Award: 16 From Our UsersAmazing flute at an amazing price. I’ve played flute for over 50 years and have a collection of boehm concert flutes like this one and also wooden irish style flutes and whistles. I bought this as I did not have an open hole concert flute. Due to a temporary hand condition limiting my right hand stretching I wasn’t able to play my irish wooden flutes and you can’t get the same expression from a closed hole keyed boehm flute. I didn’t expect too much for this kind of money but I was impressed by the tone and playability of this instrument. The main difference these days between an expensive and a budget boehm flute is the strength of the metal used in the rods and springs. A budget instrument will go out of alignment quicker if played a lot everyday. However as a student instrument and casual use this is a real bargain. I’ll post a video when I get the time.

    This is exactly how it is described: a complete flute set for beginner. I bought EFL-2 which is the open holed model. It comes with silicone plugs which convert the flute to a closed hole flute. The flute plays well straight out of the box and didn’t have any leaks. All keys work and even a complete beginner (me) could make a sound. This seems like a good flute to start with. I’m very happy with the purchase.

    Golden Review Award: 62 From Our UsersI am a grade 8 player who has only recently come back to performing. My principal instrument is a Yamaha 221 but I suddenly needed a “back-up” flute because my Yamaha began misbehaving! Knowing that I had a full 14 performance commitment in my diary and not having the luxury of time to source another flute I decided to give Amazon a whirl and ordered this Eastar EFL 2. I thought that if all else fails I’d just use my Yamaha headpiece on the Eastar body. I was genuinely astonished to find that this wasn’t necessary. Straight out of the box this silver plated instrument played and handled in a way that far belies it’s laughably low price. From the lower register all the way up to the top the tone and depth is as good – if not – better than my trusty Yamaha! To anyone out there who wants to buy a flute but doesn’t want to get a second mortgage to pay for it, this is the flute for you!

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersMy daughter had a flute right at the top of her Christmas present list and so as she had never had lessons before (and I didn’t know how long she would be interested for) I didn’t want to spend a fortune and so plumped for this one. Since Christmas she has started to have lessons and her teacher says that the flute is fine for a beginner and should last her quite a while before needing to “upgrade” and she is so far progressing very well on it.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThese reviews are not puffery. This instrument with its extras is outstanding value although not priced at 53 now! But even at 70 still extraordinary value. To provide an instrument of this quality at these prices is a godsend and Eastar of Guangzhou should be commended. Excellent value for students and improving amateurs. However, like many instrument makers the documentation could be considerably improved.
    (Visit *justanotherflutist*and *drselfridge* on YouTube to help with these points.) Clear assembly and fingering charts could have been provided for little extra cost; and maybe even a support website. Eastar are you attentive? Please keep your standards high and supplier Moukey please add some of the other outstanding instruments such as clarinet and piccolo to the English Amazon site and try to keep prices closer to the US ones!

    Golden Review Award: 238 From Our UsersOkay from the off apologies for the long video review. It was really an unboxing first impression of it all so not scripted.
    The product is astounding for this price. It arrived perfectly set up the next day and once you remove all the packaging it is fully functional. I didn’t mention that it has a stand too, which is a great touch. So far it has been a really nice surprise and I will put up another,shorter promise, video review.
