Great value – I was a very serious flute player years ago but with life have let it go. When we moved I misplaced my pearl flute and wasn’t willing to spend 2k on another one and this flute sounds identical or better than my pearl flute. Definitely sounds better than the Yamaha beginner flutes. I’m so pleased with the quality and value you of this flute.

So far perfect……. – This review refers to the silver plated 165 Dols Glory flute I bought because of its B foot so as to better play violin pieces where the low B pops up quite often. Although it remains to be seen how the flute does in a few months, I am very surprised about the quality of this low-price instrument. So far I used a Pearl Flute bought about 45 years ago with a silver head joint and a C Foot. I also briefly used a very expensive silver-gold alloy handmade Natsuki with a C Foot bought about 25 years ago. Although it sounds ,unbelievable, I do better on the cheap Glory “marching band” flute playing classical pieces. I still have problems with the low B though, because I am simply not yet used to it . I also have problems with the last two highest notes (B and C) .The B and C at the very top as well the lowest B, hardly ever occur. I never met them in the 4 or 5 years of my playing primarily Bach and a little music of the classical era. For this reason I hardly practiced these notes. It is surely not a problem of the flute but me. In violin music to which I now turn they do occur occasionally and I am confident the Glory will do justice to them with sufficient practice.. The flute does extremely well on the most frequently used tonal range and one may play it softly very easily. After a brief warm up, I could play the Glory so softly that next-door neighbours would not notice me at all . Well known problem tones of the flute such as C Sharp, 2nd octave sound pretty good on it. I guess for reasons of physics a perfect flute does not exist. Some tones naturally come beautifully and some are tough to produce. Given that, it seems a good idea if flute makers to compromise on notes that hardly occur. As to price I am not so keen on expensive handmade flutes because I want to play without worrying constantly about theft. Given todays technology and mass production, I tend to trust a custom made flute more than a handmade model, (unless I had very specific needs, that may not be mass produced) . ‘As to metall, yes you do hear the difference. Gold silver, coupro -nickel, wood sound different. But it does not mean that you get a poorer sound on a cheaper metal, the sound is not worse but simply different. Most flutes whether, gold, silver , wood or coupro nickel sound gorgeous if the player does justice to them. The cheap models seem to sound more tender, light and fragile .It seems hard to produce a real broad, volumous sound on them which I do not mind since I wanted a flute and not a trumpet. Also, if you are a hobby player like me, a tender sound is better since you do not want to be noticed by neighbours. ‘All in all I am so far very happy with my new flute. It looks pretty solid. If it lasts one year it was worth it. Padding an expensive flute after one year costs more than a new cheap flute. ‘This flute seems an excellent option (at least for a hobby player that does not play in a symphony). I tried to put the silver head joint of my Pearl onto the Glory flute that one did not work

Very Nice Flute for the money – I am a 55 year old and 46 year flute player who has played professionally on my own recordings, and for radio and TV and taught the flute. I am classically trained but I play jazz and rock flute the most. I record in my home studio as well. I know the flute very well and I am an official flute snob. .) I wanted to review this flute since I just got this flute. Out of the box it was in great shape and nothing was broken. It was very clean and shiny and the case and supplies were in good order. I have no complaints at all with the case or the condition and look of the flute. The real test though is the flute itself and how it plays. Since it is new I will not be able to talk about durability, but if it made it here via UPS and that treatment, I believe it must at least be pretty tough.

I broke my flute because I’m an idiot. Couldn’t live without it so I bought another one. – I’ve been playing flute for three or four years. I’m teaching myself, and these Glory flutes are the only ones I’ve ever had, so I can’t speak to how they compare to more expensive options. A few years ago, I bought the open hole C foot flute. I practiced every day and it brought me a ton of enjoyment. Recently, because I’m an idiot, in a fit of anger I threw my flute hard across the room, breaking it. In that moment I was too angry to really realize what I had done. My getting angry didn’t even have anything to do with learning music. Soon after, the reality set in, and I was devastated. Honestly I felt like I had wrecked my car. That flute had brought me so much happiness, and now, it was destroyed. So here I am again, after having bought a replacement, and I thought I would write this review as well. This time I bought the B foot flute. I’m very happy with it. I actually think it’s a little bit nicer than my old C foot flute was. The C footer seemed a bit stronger in the low octave, but this B footer seems to hit the middle and high octave notes easier. I think this B footer is also a bit quieter than the C footer was, but honestly for me that’s a good thing. I loved my C footer, and this B footer is even better. My C foot flute used to have a minor issue where the B flat key would stick a bit, but a little oil helped that a lot. The keys seem a bit smoother on the B foot flute. The E flat key takes a bit too much force to push down, which was not a problem with the C foot flute, but honestly I don’t find it to be that much of a problem. Don’t be dumb like me and break your instrument. I learned my lesson. I’m sure I never would have loved this thing if it had been a pain to play. It’s not – not at all, it’s a joy. It’s inexpensive, but I found it to be excellent for my needs.
