I rented and now own this type of flute and it is amazing. My flute is over five years old and I've so far never had any problems with the pads. It is very sturdy in my opinion. I have only had to take it to the shop for only one repair. It has a great sound and is great for a beginner. It has a good and comfortable feel. The keys work great and the pad work must be really good. I have played it for marching band in rough weather and never had to replace any pads so far. I have had hardly no issues with this flute all except on out of my three years playing it. I highly recommend this flute for beginners. It is still playing strong through sound and mechanism. This was a great flute when I began playing flute.
