Fun to play, intonation not great
I bought this after a favourable review on YouTube. It is a lot of fun to play (if you can get your fingers close enough), but the intonation is a weakness. I find the notes to be generally a little sharp (as in, slightly too high-pitched) compared to a 440 Hz-tuning. You can't tune this flute since the head is fixed. I find several grips had to be adjusted compared to the standard baroque chart to get better intonation (at least f#, a# and d2 if memory serves). I doubt there are many who has the garklein as their main instrument, though, and since the cheapest wooden ones are ten times the price, this is a good entry point. Being so squeaky anyway, you'd often use the garklein more as a fun effect or to add some little extra frills to a piece (fast trills and runs, say), in which case the intonation issue might not be so much of a problem.

Good for the price
Decent cheap recorder. It's not going to compete with the nice wooden ones, but if you're not sure you need one, it's definitely worth the money to find out.
