Not at all expensive compared to a proper flute. I think the top end melodicas with fancy hardwood bodies are like $300. I paid $75 for a plastic Suzuki student model.
My flute is also an old student model from the late 70s, and for $30 it could use a little work. A couple of the valves stick or don't move smoothly but that's just a matter of cleaning and possibly replacing a spring, but it also leaks a little so I'm not really sure how to address that (thinking blowtorch and pliers is a bad idea). Either way for a completely non-professional player with no intent of really doing anything besides annoying the apartment cat, it's pretty awesome hahahaha.
