I'm not a musician, I sing by ear. In my opinion, the whistle produces the correct musical notes. It sounds nice.
As a suggestion, it would be nice if the whistle were placed in its own plastic bag. Mine was in a courier bag wrapped in (thick) bubble wrap, but the ends were exposed. I would have liked it to be somewhat sealed, being an instrument that you put to your mouth.
For context, I've been playing the flute for 5 years and have played many, both professional and less so.
The flute has a clear sound, with very little buzzing, it's generally easy to play, not sensitive to imperfections in breathing. The high notes are a bit too shrill and loud compared to other similar traditional flutes. The sound overall is slightly muted, lacking character.
It's not tuned very well, it fits decently in the D major scale, but some notes are not where they should be, they are slightly flat. (the holes being the same size shows that they didn't fine-tune it in the factory)
The finish is simplistic, with a thin lacquer, it has a rough and unrefined appearance. Inside, there are wood chips and drips of lacquer.
In conclusion, it's a flute that still does its job and would be very good for beginners, it's easy to play, but it has a number of imperfections that pretty much exclude it from professional playing. The price seems too high, as it doesn't give the impression of a finely crafted instrument and there are other flutes that are cheaper and better, like traditional flutes from various craftsmen and fairs in Romania or the Irish metal flutes found in Romania ('generation flageolet').
I've been playing the flute since I was a kid, but I haven't encountered a wooden flute like this one made of acacia. It's really well made and tuned to D notes, I highly recommend it to everyone. And a very good shop! Anyone who wants to learn to play the flute can call me at +40741419079. Palade Gigi from Jorăști, Galați county. I'm also learning organ, accordion, and clarinet. Anyone interested can call me.
