The Flutophone has a wider, but more narrow mouthpiece by a millimeter or two, resulting in slightly less airflow, but a more defined tone (like a recorder, bright, clear tone), while the Songflute has a higher airflow, resulting in more wind noises and more body, a bit more sounding like an occarina

And it does have a nice tone, just not what I expected.

Either one are great flutes to learn on, but the cheaper price, and the correct tone (compared to the error on the flutophone's D), make this my favorite

The song flute has raised holes which are much easier to cover, and the tone is more pleasant and requires less breath control, allowing for more contrast in volume while in tune

Nice size, economical instrument for someone who wants to mess around or be serious.

The Flutophone is the nicer looking instrument, being dualtone color

Keep in mind this is not the greatest musical instrument

It is a great instrument for children or for families to use to form their own in-home bands.

This is a bit of a bummer for this more beautiful instrument to be off tonewise, although only on one note

if i were a musician i might be able to make great music with it, i'm not and this is one piece of cheap

Now that my daughter does not have to focus as much on her tone and slow air flow, but more on the rhythms and pitches, she is learning music much easier and enjoys it more now that the frustration has been minimized

Even though this song flute was made for children first starting out in music, as a rank beginner myself in playing musical instruments this is a handy little music maker

My entire 5th grade class had to purchase and use these in music class, and I really enjoyed that as a child.

I'm a music lover, so I had to include something I enjoyed as a child as well.

The kids liked the model 401 flutophone better as it stands up

It works on the same basic music theory as the Flutophone and similar

Even though I already had bought a Trophy 11 inch flutophone and was practicing with it, I also purchased this product to determine if I could also play this smaller flute

Nice size, economical instrument for someone who wants to mess around or be serious.

The small size makes it easier to carry with you than other musical instruments.

The finger holes are not straight but in a curved line that fits a more natural hand hold, and the size is just right for small hands

The Flutophone's holes are more straight (in line), like on a recorder flute

Both have 7 top holes and one bottom hole, although the flutophone has an eight hole right next to the low C, to play the C#.The differences are minute

Our grandkids love them and I can still remember how to play a couple of the songs we learned.

Grandkids love them and they look like they'll last.

My grandchildren have enjoyed many hours of play.

I'm quite sure without this bell, the songflute would have been the louder flute

A nice quality flute with good sound at a decent price.
