More Information

There has been a repaired crack to the length of the barrel, otherwise condition appears reasonable with minor wear and scratches, the condition of the keys is very good but the pads have wear, it is not known when they were last refurbished, the flute is tuned in concert pitch (440). There are no specific maker initials stamped anywhere including on the inside face of the two long keys on the foot joint. See images for guidance. Personal viewing advised where possible.
