Best Pearl Flutes PFB-305E Alternatives

I bought this alto flute in order to experiment with the bass notes in gigs, concerts and studio recordings. I was amazed by the bright first scale, the low weight of the instrument and how easy was to change (from soprano to alto) the way of breathing, the mask, and the placing of fingers, in order to perform with it. I didn't like the third scale, it was very blurry. Overall, I think it is a very economic choice and the relation between prise and quality is very good.I do not feel that it is the best alto flute, but it is a very good choice for non professionals.

The instrument arrived with a clearly bent trill key. However I decided to see how it blew and was massively disappointed. It was clear that the instrument required setting up as many of the notes failed to speak clearly or in some cased failed to speak at all. I have another alto to compare it against so I know it is not me. I know from play testing that this instrument should be much better.
