Very happy with my purchase of this flute. I am giving it a five because there is greater value here than I expected at this price point. The sound of the flute is quite good, but not quite concert quality. I will probably add some beeswax to the bottom of the totem to achieve a better seal with the flute and see if that helps the sound of the upper notes. The instructional book accompanying the flute was well designed and helpful for starting out. The decorative bag is sturdy material that is pleasantly soft to the touch. The bag could benefit from adding a carrying strap or at least an anchor point for a strap. The Totem is beautifully carved and the stain application makes for a display worthy piece of art. I did notice a flaw in the wood in my flute that was filled in with resin. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.
