When you combine price and value....5 stars!

This is a student flute, though I purchased it for my wife who has NOT played the flute since the 8th grade. With a beginner book and a lot of enouragement from me and the kids, she has really excelled in just a few short months....
the sound went from....well, let's be polite....not so great, to, by Christmas time, a nice solo of Silent NIght, with my accompanying her on guitar, for her own Mom. Her Mom was really proud, and so was I. 15 minutes of practice each night, following a good book step by step, and not only did her memory of notes come back, but so has the tone. I don't know what she sounded like in the 8th grade, but she sounds great now. If she continues to grow and love it, perhaps when we have the money we will invest in a more expensive one, and save this for a child, but until then, this is a great bargain. The company shipped quickly and was very friendly. A good deal for the price.

This is a great flute, especially for students. I was surprised when the flute arrived as the quality was much better than I anticipated. The only problem, which has nothing to do with the flute itself, is the case that the flute comes in is to tight and seems that it could bend the keys so I bought a better case but everything else is fine.
Good Starter Flute

Haven't touched a flute for about 25 years, but thought now might be a good time to try again. This flute is just the ticket for putting one's toe in the water; it's inexpensive, and rather impressive for the money. The unit is nicely made, with a beautiful silver finish. In fact, the finish is so slick that the flute is a little slippery to hold; I'm sure that will pass with some use. The action is tight and responsive - and relatively quiet for a low cost piece. This flute does not seem to have the ambiguous almost-heavy solidness and balance I recall, but I may be looking back with a too-fond nostalgia.
Even though the embouchure feels a bit small (or maybe I just got larger), the tone of this flute is clear and pleasant, comparable to the Armstrong I used to use. Pad closure and seal are nice and tight and 'soft'.
It came in a fairly nice case - I say fairly because there is no place for the cleaning rod, which must be stowed inside the flute body, or left behind. The latches of the case are somewhat clumsy.
I cannot tell if the flute was made in China, or just the case. No reflection on the instrument, I just prefer not to buy Chinese right now if I can help it.
Best I have ! 2007-06-22
I have read some negative reviews regarding Cecilio, but I have many flutes ranging in price from 200$ - to 400$ and my favorite insofar as tone and playability is the Cecilio! It may not be a YAMAHA, but who but a concert performer would need one?
Good flute for what it is.

I hadn't played in over 20 years, so didn't want to spend a whole lot on a flute until I got the hang of it. Well, it's an okay flute. I guess the surprise is that I was better than I thought I was. It's a pretty good beginner flute, as I'm finding out with my daughter. She's learning clarinet in the band at school. And now, thanks to this flute, she's learning it at home with me and the book I got to refresh myself. For her, it works great. But I'm already shopping for a better quality one for myself - one that can handle the strength of my breathing better and produce a better tone for me.
