This is a wonderful flute. There are two things I really wanted to communicate about it--sort of an elimination of fears I had before purchasing it (only so much you can tell from a video, and I didn't have a chance to actually play one or hear one live). First, I was afraid that to reach the deep bass notes, the flute would have to sacrifice the high end. I really like to be able to easily get to the high E and I assumed that wouldn't work. I was very wrong. The sound is solid and full from the low D up to the high E. It really can play all the notes of a lead instrument, it's just that the lowness of it and breath required does lend itself to slower compositions. I also wanted to say that this is a really good instrument to use for music therapy when you are sitting close to someone in physical or mental distress. Higher flutes are indeed beautiful to listen to, but even when played well, can be a bit intense to use if you're perched close beside someone who is in pain--or even in a convalescent situation. This flute comes in like a benevolent cloud of sound--warm, and gently healing. This was one of my main hopes/intentions in getting it, and it really has performed even better than I imagined on both counts mentioned here. Feeling grateful.
