Reviews around condition (5.00 of 5)

  • It has been dropped a few times and it still is in perfect condition.
  • The top notes are fine, going from D on the staff down to E on the staff, but the bottom 2 notes - D and C - are sharp, with no way to tune them

Reviews around hole (5.00 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around sound (5.00 of 5)

  • It also has a wonderful sound.

Reviews around finger (3.61 of 5)

  • The more cheaply made "song flute" has a much easier tactile fingering grip, holes designed to curve to the hand, and is much less breath sensitive than this thing
  • Playing a C scale is very easy as far as fingering, but it also will play a chromatic scale, but this involves a little more complex fingering, not too hard, though
  • Playing a C scale is very easy as far as fingering, but it also will play a chromatic scale, but this involves a little more complex fingering, not too hard, though
  • While Selmer's songflute is more basic and cheaper made, it has better finger positions, curved with the hand
