I have been looking at used flutes online for a long time and going back and forth with a musical instrument repairman on which one I should get. After watching a video that said you should always get a new flute over an older flute, I purchased this brand new Armstrong. While yes, it is basic, it plays like a dream and because it is such high quality I don't see having to take it to the repairman for a long time. Great purchase.
Everything sounds great! Tested scales, and keys and they're all in good shape! The only takeaway is likely the key on the side to make Bb flat note to come out. Regardless, such a great instrument! :)
