Lazarro 120-BK C Flute with Black and Nickel Keys, Professional Case, and Care Kit

JGar: This flute is even better than what I expected! I was kind of skeptical of buying on Amazon in fear of it looking cheap or sounding bad but it is perfect. And it comes with a little grease which helps A LOT!

Greg Wright: The media could not be loaded.  I bought this when I was just wanting to decide whether to get back into playing again. My ex husband pawned my good flute for cigarette money some 18 years before, when I was fresh out of high school, and I hadn't played since. This flute reminded me how much I truly loved playing and though I've since upgraded - nothing fancy, just an intermediate eastman for Christmas last year and a slightly nicer Jupiter I happened upon at a pawn shop, I'm not made of money, though I dream about that Sankyo model 301 every day - this holds its own for someone who is on a tight budget but really wants to play. It really doesn't take a lot of air to play effectively like some other cheap flutes and the mechanism isn't terribly clunky or stiff, and though the tone is a little flatter than either my Eastman or my Jupiter, it sounds fine enough. I don't find I have to compensate too much for leaky keys.

This is a decent value for the price if you or your kid want to play but your budget leaves a rental or the purchase of a more recommended brand out of reach.

MandyMandy: I have always wanted to learn how to play the flute but I did not have the 1000aud to invest in a proper student flute so I went for the 200aud one. You get what you pay for I guess. 1 week in of playing maybe like 10 minutes a day. I have barely learnt how to play the c major scale. I noticed that the skin has been peeling off my lips and today I checked to confirm my suspicions. The polish has been tarnished and the base metal can clearly be seen underneath. It's unfortunate because I guess I have an allergy to the base metal given my skin is peeling and my lips are tingling. Should I still carry on playing this given I've been looking forward to it my whole life? Maybe not, I might end up in the hospital..

DHollis: I got this flute out of curiosity, since I've been a musician for decades but never got around to trying a western concert flute. I was dismayed in my search at first due to every "beginner" flute recommendation I could find from reputable sources were priced well into the 3-figure range upwards of $600, sometimes over $1000. I'd recently purchased a Chinese xiao bamboo flute and found that there were quality instruments available for ~$50, so a tenfold jump in price for something of similar quality seemed completely ridiculous to me. There had to be something reasonably good but cheaper.

Enter this flute. NOTE: I made several adjustments to the keys via the adjustment screws, and additionally made a minor adjustment to one of the levers that coordinates combined key closure for the Bb key which required ever so slightly bending the metal of that mechanism as per instructions from a flute technician. If you're not willing/able to learn how to adjust a flute to optimize its performance, your experience might differ greatly from mine, as there were some minor leaks when I first received the flute.

However, once I had made the adjustments to the keys, the flute plays...

L. Ripley: I purchased this flute after a rather long break from playing. I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to pick it back up or just had an itch I needed to scratch, so I bought this to gauge how serious I actually was. My expectations were pretty low considering the price, but the promo video of the guy playing convinced me that this would at least be somewhat playable and it would be possible to make it sound pretty. That’s really all I needed to know at the time.

I was right to believe in that video. Holding it in my hands for the first time, this flute felt very similar to my old nickel Yamaha from high school, not like the ultra-cheap garbage that I was half expecting. The keys are springy, smooth, and responsive. For the most part (an exception listed below), it’ll play as well as the player is capable.

There are a few cost-cutting/blah things about it. Such as:
-Some of the screws aren’t quite as concealed as they are on a more expensive instrument. This is purely a cosmetic concern.

-Some commonly-cork pieces (pads on trill keys, etc.) have been replaced by something between plastic and rubber. The bottoms of these pads have already started turning...

Laura Kelly: This is the first flute I've owned. Seems to work well, and I can get a nice sound for my (minimal) experience.
One issue is that a rod came out of the hinge on the case, so it doesnt stay completely together

Regent: Bought this as Christmas gift for my wife. She loved it and found the keys to be firm and seal well. She was impressed by the nice finish on it as well. She played a few songs and they sounded great. All in all she loves it. Came in a nice solid case well wrapped up.
