I bought this beautiful flute from a woman who used it very little.  It was as given as a gift to her, and she only used it for one semester, and then safely stored it until now.  It has just come out of the shop where it received a COA (cleaning, oil and adjustment) by my trusted tech, and it is in excellent condition, including the pads.

I enjoyed play-testing it today.  After playing some of the student flutes that I had gotten back from the shop (which played quite nicely), I picked this one up.  Once in a while when I play a flute, the notes just noticeably "fall" out with very little effort.  This is true of this one.  I played some technically difficult passages up high, and some quickly tongued passages, and then slower passages, both high and low.  It is very enjoyable instrument to play!

This flute sells new, with the extras (gold lip and b foot) at on-line discounters for nearly $2000.  Asking $1250 plus shipping.
