Does all that I ask, and more!
I have had this instrument for just over a month and given it an extensive 'work-out', even using it on a professional concert.
My usual flute is a Sankyo HMDH (CF501 in the current range) and I was looking for an inexpensive back-up instrument that had closed holes and an E- mechanism (as a multi-instrumentalist I often don't have sufficient time to practise enough and the Sankyo needs constant work with open holes, centre action and no E- mechanism). With its' B-foot, I just had to try this instrument.
The Kotori KF-CBEO appears well made and feels comfortable to play. It blows freely in all registers but I feel that the response is not as instantaneous and that of the yamaha student models, especially on the lower notes. The dynamic range is also, as yet, slightly limited but I have seen a marked improvement over the last four weeks so imagine that once fully 'blown-in' this will improve.
At the price I am amazed at this instrument. It gives students the opportunity to have a B-foot instrument that plays and feels as if it cost three times as much. I even think that with an after market solid-silver head I could be happy to use it in place of my normal instrument.
Well done Thomann.... yet again!

Took a chance...
Took a chance on this one, so glad I did!
Sounds like, feels like and plays like a flute twice the price.
Definitely a high quality bargain!

A delight to play
I was looking for a flute with closed holes and a B-foot.
For this price range, this is definitely an excellent choice. The flute is beautiful, comfortable, and a true delight to play. You can see that it is a factory-made intrument, but for 429 euros, this is to be expected. The price/performance ration could hardly be better, and I can definitely recommend it.

Excellent, inexpensive flute
It is what it is, a really inexpensive flute. However, my 5th grader has used it for two years and it is holding up really well with very limited care.
