REVIEWS
I just bought one of these last semester for one of my graduate flute minors from South America who did not have a decent flute. He LOVES it. I also wanted to have something as a backup for students whose flutes are currently in repair. I have to admit, I was very skeptical about these flutes but they really do play like a professional model. If something happened to both of my Powells I would not hesitate to play on this flute. It is my understanding that these are made by someone who used to work for Powell. I tried one at a Fall Flute Fling at UWV last year and could not believe the quality for such a low price. - posted on The Flute Loft's facebook timeline January, 2013 ....

I can honestly say that the quality of this instrument never ceases to amaze me. Every time I pick it up I am reminded of what a finely crafted flute this is. The mechanism is absolutely flawless; I've compared the feel of this flute to that of my professional model Burkart on several occasions. Everyone who I let play my Di Zhao agrees that it feels like a professional level instrument -- and the best part is, it's only a fraction of the price! It has great projection in all registers and moves fluidly between them. It's an absolute joy to play, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a professional feel and sound at a downright affordable price. Teachers should absolutely suggest this to students who are looking for a great intermediate level instrument. - Posted February 17. 2010 … Corrine Shirk, music major at Ithaca College As a professional flutist and teacher of many flutists, I have recently recommended DiZhao flutes to everyone. Many of my students own one and love the sound and the response they get. The pitch is terrific and the projection is amazing. The sound of the DiZhao flute is equal to that of flutes costing three times more. Even beginners can produce a low C on the first try, and third octave notes! This is a huge secret about to explode upon theflute scene. - Ronna Ayscue, Principal Flutist, Bay-Atlantic Symphony and past President of the Flute Society of Greater PhiladelphiaSHIPPING AND INSURANCE
