I bought this flute after a bout of heart trouble, but after trying to play my old flute, decided not to proceed with it. The curved mouthpiece makes it much easier to hold than a straight mouthpiece as it is effectively shorter. This design is good for younger players. I have no idea how good the tone is, but it is well made and nicely finished, so I believe it will be good. Price reduced to £60 or offer as I would like to get it sold.
