Sandner Tenor 80 Solo C Black

I was looking for a flute without keys of the baroque cross type, but at an affordable price and could not find one, except a model of ABS but already quite expensive.
This flute is therefore perfect. The fingerings are a bit different from the transverse and unique to this hybrid instrument, but simple and practical, and allow to play all the chromatic notes on three whole octaves!
A very good answer and a pretty very good timbre even if the volume is somewhat limited. The double tuning system is ingenious, the mouth plug is moved for the height of the instrument as for the flute, and a small stem can be moved in this plug to match the bass and treble.

It is a good instrument to learn the flute or traverso, especially to get used to and work the techniques of breath and articulation specific to the flutes.
Very affordable for an instrument of this range, a single flat (haha): no serious note, the lowest note being re. Like the traverso, okay, but the name of this instrument "Tenor C" suggests this possibility.

A good cheap instrument, solid and maintenance-free, which one can pull a very nice sound after familiarization.
