The flute arrived in perfect condition. The instrument was exactly as stated in the online description.
Excellent Beginner Flute 2006-04-02
When I first started playing the flute two years ago, I received this flute as a gift from my parents. It has served me faithfully so far, and I have only had to take it for repair once, and that was just a quick tightening of a leaking key.
The Gemeinhardt 2SP is a VERY durable flute. It withstood my rough, clumsy, inexperienced fingers and my countless dropping of it. (On carpet, thankfully.)
The headjoint, keys, body, and footjoint are all silver-plated. Although the quality of the tone cannot, of course, match those of an intermediate or professional flute, they come out clear and easily and are more than enough for a beginner.
I highly recommend the Gemeinhardt 2SP for the flute beginner.
Two thumbs up!

Gemeinhardt flutes, I have found, have a harsh tone to them and aren't as fluid to play as other brands. The keys always feel stiff.
Durable Flute with Good Resale Value 2007-08-16
This model of flute (2SP) has been the standard for beginners for years. I played one 25 years ago, and as a flutist and band director, recommend them. Amazon's price is a very good price for a new flute of this quality.
When your child moves up to an intermediate flute, or quits the flute (it DOES happen...), the name Gemeinhardt will give you assurance that you have a decent resale value. This particular model is in the top two of the readily available models in the US (that I recommend), and is the least expensive of those two.
It is a good idea when buying ANY woodwind instrument to have an instrument check look it over. Even new instruments can get out of adjustment in shipping! A good instrument tech can make a world of difference.
Excellent service and brand new!!! 2007-01-03
We are very happy with the purchase and the price.

The flute is pretty well. I've been using this flute for marching in my marching band. I gave it 4 stars only because the flute sometimes can't play certain notes such as the G and the Ab. But again, this flute has gone through rain and sunshine during marching band and is still working pretty well.
i have had this flute for quite a long time and haven't brought it for repair once. (occassionally one of the springs or the screws came loose but my dad just poped it right back in with a screwdriver) I wouldn't reccommend this flute for advanced flute players as it is a begginner flute. The 3SB Gemeinhardt flute shall do good for advanced players or intermediate players.

I received the flute quick and in good condition exept for some sticky goo on the inside of the body piece, about an inch wide. I took it off with q-tip and vascoline. The embouchure hole is the oval shape (unlike the Jupiters and Armstrong, which is a rounded-off square shape), and requires soft playing to get clear notes. If you like a better tone, and dont mind using more air power, I suggest the other models mentioned. For now Im happy with this model, since the notes are quicker having the small oval shape, and needing less effort and air. For my indoor hobby I find it suitable for soft and quiet playing. The keys are soft to the touch, not bouncy, and you get a black plastic cleaning rod with it.
