A brilliant starter flute, especially at 440 pitch. Tuning is generally good and it has a reasonable high F. Of course it doesn't have the warmth and rosiness of a true boxwood instrument, but its tone is quite acceptable for plastic. As a teacher, it's a terrifically good instrument that I feel very good about lending for a short period of time to students in getting them started on baroque playing.

I truly love this instrument if there is anything that can improve would be to reduce the noise made by the key. Love it.

This flute is the Aulos AF-2, not the AF-1. It has the matte finish and comes in a hard case instead of a soft pouch. It plays very well and slightly better than the AF-1, probably because the embouchure is a modular insert in the head joint, with more complex undercutting. Too bad the AF-2 is discontinued. Quite an accomplishment, to make a plastic (resin) flute that plays this well.

I've always liked Aulos recorders, and I like this Baroque-style flute also. Very well-made, fun to play, easier to blow than an orchestral flute (I have weak lungs). Recommended for anyone who enjoys playing flute and related instruments.

This flute is very easy to finger and play (for experienced flute players). Note: This is actually modeled after GRENSER and not GLENZER. August Grenser and Heinrich Grenser were flute makers in late 18th-century Dresden, Germany. There is no "Glenzer" as a flute maker.
