This is a real instrument and I am very happy with it. I've been playing various whistles and flutes for my own enjoyment a long time. I ordered this 'plastic practice' flute so that I could carry around a flute with me and play anywhere if I want I had been carrying around one of my keyless flutes, assembled and sticking out of my backpack. I banged it into a doorway by accident - luckily no damage. A few days later though it's sound suddenly changed and I had to repair the flute. So much for that. I stopped carrying my flute around and started looking for a less expensive one. The Dixon flute sounds good. Like all flutes it has it's own personality but it is very responsive to adjustments in embouchure and I like it a lot. One touch that doesn't show well in the photo, are the two ivory (plastic) white rings; one at each end. They add a note of class to the instrument. This flute is well built and came in a good two part plastic box that works well to protect the flute in my bag. I wanted the flute to be in my knapsack but sticking out so I can just play it without opening the knapsack or the box. Even it's box is well made with attention to details. I put the bottom of the box into the top upside down. Now, the bottom of the flute is well protected from hitting the ground when I put the knapsack down; yet the top is uncovered and the flute can be easily pulled out. This flute is more than a 'student' flute. This flute is great for beginners but it's also great for those flute players that aren't practicing enough because their flute is taken apart every day and lives in a box. I've always left a keyed Irish flute and a keyless flute assembled on vertical stands in my living room so I can just pick one up and play as the mood strikes me. But now, on a nice day, between appointments, if I get a few minutes, I can play the flute where ever I am, or practice one of the new tunes I am constantly picking up.

Quality and Value Even though the stretch required for my right hand is too great I’m fairly confident that I can get there in time. The instrument is very light in weight; the build quality and tone is good.

Great Go Anywhere First Flute I wanted a first flute that sounded nice and didn't cost awfully much. This one's got a lovely tone and is also fairly worry free. I plan to eventually graduate to a nice wood flute but this polymer can slip into a backpack and go camping without worry.

Great sound Easy to produce sound with this. However I found the bottom hole quite a stretch and my hands arent particularly small. A good start though if youre thinking of starting the flute and not sure you want to commit to a lot of money to find out whether you like it or not
