This comes ready to be played. Headphones or some form of amplifier are required. We purchased this with the intent of using headphones due to sounds issues and it has worked great.

Yes, the flute I received was new and in a black plastic case. My daughter was extremely excited and has enjoyed playing bit.

I would not recommend this one for that level of playing. My son is using it as a beginner in his middle school. I think it's a fair instrument for beginner level learning. I'm not a musician though. The piece is very light and easily damaged.

It will need to be repaired. It is difficult to get parts for it and the warranty work takes a long time. Meanwhile, the rest of the flute class has moved ahead and your child has just sat there and watched. I'm the teacher and it hurts me to watch a child get a flute that I know will not hold up and be easy to maintain.

Hi, I was using in my tambourine, it is very nice. I have only one point to say, the cable is very fragile, but for flute, I belive that you won't have problems, with my tambourine I had to shake it a lot, due this the cable broke frequently.Regards,

It's easy to play this instrument. Professional help is good but it's not necessary. You can go on YouTube and watch video of people playing the notes or you can google to get the pictorial view of all the notes on the recorder. I hope my response help with your decision.

It does not require maintenance. HOw ever ass with most instruments it does not hurt to clean it.

It comes ready to play. All I had to do was tune it. As an owner of 5 guitars this guitar in my opinion is as good as or better than my considerably more expensive Yamaha.

It is but it diddent. I advice against this product. I would buy from another company where the flute tunes are actualy good.

Probably... It seems to be a very well built instrument. Mine hasn't shown any damage from transport or from use, so I did not need to take it to a repair shop...

It comes ready to play. All you need is a tuner (very inexpensive) and you can strum away.

You get what you pay for. It may work well for a while but it will eventually need to be repaired. Parts are difficult to get and our local music stores will not repair them because they will not stay fixed and customers return them thinking that the flute was repaired badly, but it is just poor design. I am a flute teacher and some of my students have had them, but they will need to be replaced, some within a few weeks, some within a few months, rarely does the flute last more than a school year.

There is a singing part that could be used for flute. I would try finding a flute solo first but if not this should work fine.

Yeah not bad for high school (I used this one in Year 10-11), if you want to take this to university like I ended up doing with my flute, you might want to consider a higher-level flute. Check with local music shops.

I bought it for me since I had an interest in playing the flute. Found I could play it easy enough and liked it, but ended up giving it to my 8 year old daughter to play for band. There was one note that she and her teacher had trouble with--can't remember which. In the end, they worked it out. It seems like it's a fine beginner instrument; but I don't know flutes well enough to really say. Hope this helps some.

It Comes completly assembled. It just needs to be tuned up! It is then ready to play. The sound is pretty nice!
