I bought this flute after much review and after playing many different rental flutes, and store models. The tone of this flute is very beautiful and it's also a fancy model with the engraving on the head joint and end cap. I think I got one of the last flutes - one of sixty made for L&M, since now it is not listed anymore anywhere on the site!

I moved over from a Gemeinhardt to the Amadeus 680 after copious amounts of research. I had long been told that my Gemeinhardt was holding me back (even if I didn't realize it), but I didn't really believe it until I got out there and started trying new flutes, particularly the Amadeus. I settled on the 680 for its balance between price-point and sound quality, as well as its balance between materials as well -- you get the solid silver head, with a silver plate body, which is a good balance for me right now. I was also looking for an instrument with a 'unique' flare, something that sets my instrument apart from others. Some people may consider this a worthless endeavor since what impact does it have on sound? But for me, it is a pride in my instrument to just be a little different than the person next to me, even if I'm the only one who knows it. The scrollwork / engraving on the mouthpiece and the engraving on the crown that came with the 60th anniversary edition allowed me to get that unique flare, without having to break the bank. The Classic Haynes headjoint immediately allows development of a farm more clear, crisp sound that was woefully lacking even with great effort on my previous instrument. It was noticeable even to the other people in my life who are much less musically-inclined, to hear such a significant difference. Tone production effort-wise, in addition to quality, was also an immediate upgrade (requiring far less effort to produce quality sound). The offset-G was a lifesaver from my previous flute's Inline G, I think I will never go back to an inline. While this particular model does not sport the split-E mechanism, my previous flute didn't have it either, so I'm luckily not missing what I've never had. The anniversary edition comes with a certificate stating that it is "x of 60" units produced, which again is part of that uniqueness for me. It has the engraving mentioned above, and the leather case is embossed as well with the 60th Anniversary letterwork. Overall I recommend this flute for being a quality product at a good price-point, with just a touch of uniqueness for those of us who are looking for it!

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
