I purchased this last July and used it for about three months. Since it was used indoors, it's in good condition. All the notes play, and I've confirmed it's working. The original box and instruction manual are also included. It's made of plastic, so you can wash it with water, making it easy to maintain. Attachments are also included, so you can swap them out if you have trouble producing sound. The sound is more subdued than a metal flute, so I think it's suitable for practicing at home. I'll include a brand new, spare cleaning swab. If you're looking to start playing the flute or want to play casually, how about this one? - Brand: NUVO - Model: Student Flute 2.0 - Accessories: Case, cleaning tools, mouthpiece - Case color: Black - Flute color: Black
