SOLD-Brio B10 SHB Flute w/ Dana Sheridan Head (barely used)- Nearly New!

I am impressed with the Dana Sheridan hand cut headjoint which makes this flute stand out when compared to many of the other flutes of the same level on the market.  This quality headjoint makes for a super clean attack, a wide dynamic range, and a very rich sound in all registers.

The mechanism is also very smooth.
 
Here is the description from the manufacturer:

Gemeinhardt B10 Brio Series Open Hole Flute

The Brio! model B10 premium flute features a solid silver handcut Dana Sheridan Series headjoint on a silver-plated body with offset G, B footjoint and plated keys with a Y-arm mechanism.

In Italian, "Brio!" means energy and vitality. And that's what this line of flutes embodies. Blending the performance of a handcrafted instrument with warm and focused sound, classical design and remarkably smooth mechanical action from gold springs and exacting tolerances. Add to all this a headjoint designed by Dana Sheridan, today's foremost flute and headjoint craftsman. The result - a series of instruments as exciting as they are elegant, capturing the pure joy of playing. That's Brio!

• Dana Sheridan Series Handcut Silver Headjoint
• Silver-plated Body
• Y-Arm Key Mechanism
• Inline G
• B Footjoint

This particular B10 is in excellent condition, as it was used very little.  The finish is beautiful, with no dings or dents, and only the usual very fine and light superficial surface wear that you would see on any used flute.  The pads look nearly new.  It plays beautifully in all registers and has just been through the shop where my trusted repair tech. did some very minor adjustments to make the pads seal perfectly, and with a light touch all the way down to low B.

It comes with a hardshell case in very good condition (has a few minor scuffs and ruff areas), as well as a soft outer carrying case that is in excellent condition.  A cleaning rod and plugs for the holes will be included.

This model sells new for over $1000.  Asking $850 plus reasonable shipping fee.
