Advantages: Better tone than any I have heard before

Disadvantages: a bit pricy

I bought this Armstrong flute second hand and even then it cost me £200 (it was only 10 months old), I managed to get a private sale through a local music shop. Brand new it costs approximately £400 - £450.

It was worth every penny, I would definately recommend it, having spoke to my music tutor he told me it is one of the best (and most expensive) flutes you can buy.

I played for a large band when I was at school and my flute seemed to have such a softer, nicer tone than some of those I played with.

It is now five years old and sounds as good now as it did when I got it. I have never had to have any pads replaced and it has never had to go in for repair. I have never had it serviced, though I should really, so considering this it is still in very good condition, and plays as well as it did the day I got it.

My sister had a different make (not sure what it was) and when she didn't clean it you could tell. I admit I have neglected mine a bit and don't clean it all the time, but I have never had any problems with it, or the tone it produces.

This is definately the best make I have ever come across, and I am sure it will last be for years to come (if I remember to have it serviced regularly!)
