I first bought a D# plastic flute from Amazon, but 4 notes were completely out of tune. I saw about Indiran’s flute in Youtube, and i purchased it from Music Master. in fact they sent a video fo 3 D# flutes through whatsapp and asked me to pick the ones I like. I am so happy that I got a great bamboo flute.
