“Well constructed & visually nice to look at. As it's a 'D' flute, it is long. Thus, challenging to play given the distances of the holes. I am a novice flute player and find it challenging to get good quality sound. The mouth hole is larger than another 'D' flute that I own (which is much easier to play). Surely an advanced flute player would be much better on this Dixon flute. Just the same, I continue to try to play it.”

“I love this flute, it's tone is amazing. When I feel I've earned one, I'll step up to a wood model flute. Thank you for the wonderful instrument.”

“I'm a beginner on the Irish flute and am enjoying playing my new D flute TB014. I'm still working on emboucher control. Tricky, yes. The flute is lovely for me. Thank you so much”

“Great for a beginner with long fingers This is a great beginner flute. It's important to note, as one of the others reviews did, that the last hole is difficult to reach. I have fairly large hands and sometimes find it easier to just use my pinky. If that's something you can work with, go for it! The flute is one piece and molded resin, so it can be difficult to clean but, for the same reasons, is easier than having to deal with cork grease and splitting. It has a wonderful, mellow sound - again, it's a great beginner flute.”

“For this price, you won't find a better practice flute. It's easy to play in both octaves and sounds better than some more expensive flutes.”

“I would like to rate the customer service and follow-up following my less than rave review. The flute itself is a great buy and a fine instrument but my hands were too small. So McNeela responded to my review with some great advice about using the piper's grip. So helpful and lovely response to my review.
