Radiance [Epoxy] Native American-style flutes

I love the flute. It has a beautiful sound. The color is so pretty. Very nice quality

I love the F tuning! The Ember Orange color is gorgeous and glows, as if lit by candlelight from within. For its size, the flute is fairly lightweight. The voice of the flute is enchanting and haunting. I'm waiting for more of these flutes to come in, as there is another key I'm wanting to purchase.

I must admit I was a bit skeptical about how this flute would feel and sound. I wanted an Eb so I could do call and response and duets with someone playing the black keys on the piano. First of all, my teenage boys thinks it looks really cool, especially when the sun shines through the gorgeous emerald green. The flute sound, though, is really sweet and clear. It's also very comfortable to play and seems to wet out more slowly than many of my wood flutes. I also appreciated the very reasonable price! Definitely a keeper!

I got the f# galaxy drone after like, a year of debating. My first native flute was a non-drone wooden flute in g i ordered from a seller on etsy. my crazy self played it for about 6 hours, almost continuously, as soon as it arrived in the mail. I dont think anyone's ever done such a stress test on his flutes before, but.... from all the moisture and heat for such a prolonged period, the wood ended up splitting

so now that i was wanting a drone, i was very happy to hear that someone make plastic ones lol

so there's definitely still an issue with moisture, which can't be helped, especially with block flute-types of flutes, but at least the flute isn't being destroyed in the process. It's just a little weird to like, jam out for a long time and suddenly feel wetness coming though the keyholes. Something i don't notice with my recorders or whistles, so i'm not sure why the native flute makes that happen?

it's also heavier than i would have expected

oh, and i do wish the flute could come apart and be reassembled, like a recorder, because it's pretty hard to travel with it as it. it WILL NOT fit in any like, medium-sized bags i own

but i guess those are my only critiques. the fingerings, the pitch, and the voice are all consistent with the video demo. it does sound a bit different than a wood instrument, but it's still a nice sound. Just wish it was collapsible and wet fingers kinda suck

i am considering getting the amethyst. And maybe the emerald too.

After using the Radiance Fm flute a LOT last week, I find it is really easy to dry the flute, After blowing water from the slow air chamber into a cloth and drying the block, the flute is ready to play. I can repeat this as many times as I want, so it has an advantage over my wood flutes, which get saturated after a while and need to dry for hours.
It’s a 5 star flute after all, IMHO.
