#Artley flute 18 0 pro
(The pro players go for an entirely different class of instrument!) I'm a flutist, flute teacher, and former pro (symphony) player, and occasional fixer of flutes - I recommend this brand (and others). The tone is very good (A = 440) and while there may be (alleged) "advances" in tone hole builds, these flutes continue to be EXCELLENT for the vast majority of flutists, beginners through high school and some college players anyway. It is easy and inexpensive to keep in top condition, and parts (pads) are available with no problems. The fact that there are so many still being played says a lot.
The keys are well-made and comfortable for the fingers. The embrochure and riser is well-cut and designed for easy development of good breath technique through all the octaves. The 18-0 is a student model with some nice feature like full silver-plating for a good resonant tone.
