SOLD-Armstrong Heritage Vintage Professional Thin Wall Flute (Made at the time when Tom Green and Jack Moore were at Armstrong)

About This Flute
This beautiful handmade professional vintage flute is in a much higher class than the current Armstrong Heritage flute, which is mass-produced.  It was carefully handmade in the 60's, competing with the top-of-the-line Haynes and Powells at the time, and became a prototype of sorts. Tom Green and Jack Moore, who are (and were) well-respected world class flute makers, were at Armstrong at the time.

Condition
This flute has been extremely well-taken-care-of, and is in excellent condition with no major dents, dings, scratches, or tarnish.  The pads are in good shape and seal well with a light touch all the way down to low C.  Many vintage flutes need a complete overhaul.  This flute needs nothing, as it has been completely professionally checked over, adjusted and cleaned by my trusted repair tech.

Price Comparison
I see other ads for similar used Heritage models stating that a comparable flute like this would cost $6000.  While I can see where this thought comes from, my strong opinion is that, while this is a very nice professional instrument, vintage flutes and current flutes are not directly comparable, as many things have changed in the flute-making world over time.

Asking $1850 plus a small shipping fee.  Worlwide shipping is available in some circumstances.  Please contact me for more information.
