The Flute is great! My son is 5 and is doing well with the nuvo flute! He tries to play my daughters nickel flute with a curved head joint but it’s still too heavy for him so this is a great substitute till he gets a bit older!

The problem that I encountered with this flute is that the low D and E notes were difficult to play. I compared my metal flute, side by side, with this plastic flute and there was a night and day difference. The notes were easily played on the metal flute, but not the plastic one. The other notes were OK. Because of this limitation. I sent the flute back. Interestingly, after selling me a flute that didn't work, they had the nerve to charge me a restocking fee of $20. If they advertised this as a toy it would have been a more accurate description. It was advertised as a real flute. I do see possiblities for plastic flutes, and like the idea of non-leather pads. However this flute needs further refinement in it's design.

does not produce a clear sound either with or without the adaptor

習い始めは少し吹くと苦しいようで、家での練習は１０分やってすぐやめて、みたいな感じでした。このフルートなら、組み立てたまま置いておけるので、スキマ時間にちょこちょこ吹いてもらってます。初めは楽器の「長さ」に慣れず、本棚にごつん、机にごつんとやっておりました。プラスチックだからいいってわけではないですが、取り返しのつかないようなことにはならず助かりました。今は扱いにも慣れてぶつけなくなったので、最初これでよかったと思いました。大人が吹けばそれなりに音も出ますし、可愛い色で子どもも玩具的な愛着があるようで楽器を買い替えてもなにげに使い続けるだろうと思います。これはこれで、楽器としてちゃんとしていると思います。軽くて丈夫で海でも山でも吹けるんですから。今はコロナであれですが、お友達にさっと貸せるのもいいですね。なんじゅーまんえんもするのは小学生のお友達に気軽に貸せませんし。
