History/Condition:
Excellent condition.  Owned and played by only one adult, this flute has very few signs of wear.  There are no visible scratches, dings, dents or tarnish, and the pads are perfect.  It received a COA from Muramatsu America ($400) in 2014 when the video samples were made, and then it was stored safely away until now (the owner took it off of the market during that time, but has decided to sell it afterall).

Playability:
Just as expected from a well-adjusted Muramatsu, the tone on this flute is rich and flexible, with lots of opportunities for color and volume.  The smooth mechanism and quality workmanship make this particular flute very suitable for playing quickly tongued passages with ease.  With the Tsubasa headjoint, the low notes pop!  I really enjoyed giving this flute a good long play-test.

Price:
A new flute with this configuration would sell for $10,250.  Asking $7,500 plus reasonable shipping fee.
