## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ Three Stars
*by M***H on 26 November 2017*

good product, delayed deliovery.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buena para niños
*by L***N on 24 May 2026*

La flauta es buena para que los niños se acostumbren a la embocadura y posición de las manos y brazos. Es corta, en manos de adulto es apretada para los dedos. La calidad del plástico es excelente.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ottimo, senza troppe pretese
*by A***. on 13 December 2017*

Suonando il lauto traverso, l'ho preso come strumento "da campo", da portare dietro in situazioni in cui non avrei tempo di provvedere alla mautenzione del suo collega in argento o in cui semplicemente non mi sento di portar dietro uno strumento che, pur non essendo in oro, è pur sempre relativamente costoso. Il fattore decisivo è stato il prezzo. Per imparare a sunare il flauto traverso è comunque necessario un "vero" flauto traverso (anche primo prezzo), ma questo può essere utile per insegnare le basi o per testare l'effettivo interesse di un bambino che abbia espresso propensione per questo strumento. In sostanza: funziona bene, e per 8€ è già abbastanza.
