About This Model:
This gorgeous 1984 handmade Muramatsu used flute, made in Japan,  is typical of Muramatsu's excellent quality.  It preceded the current DS Model.

-Silver Head, Body, Foot and Keys
-Winged Lip with substantial back wall to help focus sound
-B Foot
-In-Line G
-Open-Holes
-C# Trill
-D# roller

Condition:
Pristine.  Having had a recent overhaul, this flute looks as new as a used flute gets with no signs of wear, except for the typical superficial, very fine surface wear (extremely minor) that can be seen on any used instrument.  There are no scratches, dings, dents or tarnish.

Playability:
When I was play-testing this flute, I had a difficult time putting it down, as it is so incredibly enjoyable to play.  Quickly tongued passages with register leaps, and technical passages that might be difficult on another flute, just "fall" out with ease on this one.  It has a clear sweet tone and flawless key action.  Videos coming soon.

I also had a friend over the other day who is an excellent flutist.  She likes to test the flutes that I have sitting here, and she also picked this as one of her favorites.

History:
This flute was purchased new in 1984, and only had one owner.  It was a prized possession, and is only being sold (regretfully) to fund the purchase of an upgrade.
 

Price:
Since the DN model is no longer made, and is not identical to the newer Muramatsu model, it cannot be directly compared to a DS.  It is, however, a product of the same skilled craftsmanship that Muramatsu is known for, and has many similar features as the current model.

For interest sake, the price for a current Muramatsu DS model is $8900. 

Asking $6200.00 for this DN plus reasonable shipping fee.
