This flute recently received a COA from my trusted tech. ($240 value). The owner is selling it because she has other musical interests that she would like to focus on. The flute was well cared for and shows only minimal signs of wear (very light scuffs here and there (minor)). No scratches, dings or tarnish, and the pads are excellent and seal well with a light touch all the way down to the low B. It is in exellent used condition.

Price Comparison:
New, this model sells for over $4000 (including the split-e). The only difference is that the newer models are made with the Britannia silver headjoint, and this one is sterling silver. We have taken this into account and are asking $2500 plus a reasonable shipping fee.
