Back in 2022 I purchased one of these key of D flutes for a shockingly low price considering the amount of time and expertise put into it. I ended up never learning to play the flute, so I can’t speak to the sound quality or ease of playability, but the seller was great at communicating…

Excellent flute! Many people have thought that it’s a wooden one at first glance. Pleasure to play and good sound. Very affordable and Bear was great to deal with.

I have one; both the sound and the look are gorgeous. It looks like rich wood; my daughter was shocked it was not. And the sound is lovely with sweet timbre and great expressivity and volume. Notes are pure and accurate. This flute punches *way above it’s weight. It’s a gem.

I purchased one of Critter Bear’s flutes in the early days and was really impressed with the playability. It was an inexpensive flute, to say the least, so I wasn’t expecting a whole lot but it definitely exceeded my expectations. If you’re on the fence, just go for it! I’m sure Critter has only continued…

These flutes are a great value for beginners. I wound up buying a few of them. To write this review, I pulled out my D flute and tried it again. Plays in tune, nice tone, ergonomic and looks like wood if you don’t get too close. I bought mine years ago, and I see they…

I purchased 2 flutes from critter bear. Both flutes were packaged very neatly and secure. Both flutes were identical with the same embouchure shape. Clean finger holes and comfortable spacing. The tuning joint slides effortlessly and it is easy to tune in and out of the D maj depending on how hard you play. As…

I purchased one of these flutes several years ago, with interest in learning how to play wind instruments. I was very pleased that it was a relatively inexpensive purchase, as beginner flutes can range around $200-$500. I was really pleased with how easy it was to start playing, and tuning in the proper tone. Additionally,…

This is a great flute, especially for the price. The wide bore takes a bit more air than some others, but it’s worth it since the tone is massive, especially on the low end. And the painted PVC looks surprisingly good-I’ve had audience members ask me what kind of wood, sometime with specific guesses as…

I’m very happy with the flute I purchased! I’m new to the instrument and it’s great to have an affordable, yet beautiful, option on which to learn. It is precisely tuned and has a great tone. I would highly recommend these flutes for their reasonable cost, appealing aesthetics, and beautiful tone. I would buy one…

Excellent craftsmanship, great sound, and perfectly in tune! Feels solid/weighty in a good way due to thick PVC and the brass fitting. Sure, it’s a PVC flute, but if you’re in a dimly lit pub, you’ll probably fool a few people into thinking you’ve got a nice solid wood one thanks to the gorgeous finish.…
