(There are so many inexpensive band instruments on ebay, but so many of them are inferior in workmanship and tone, and often made in Asia.) Buy American and buy with confidence that you will get a high quality instrument that can last a lifetime. A great investment as well as a great instrument for the beginning to intermediate flute player. Comes with a replacement French flute case and vinyl case cover in perfect condition. It plays beautifully with a big rich tone, (a tone you can only get using these older USA made instruments). Mechanically this flute is in excellent condition. Just completely polished, cleaned thoroughly, and overhauled using double skin treated pads and all new corks and felts. There are a few minor scuffs and scratches from normal use. It's an Artley Model which is open hole, C-foot and has a solid silver headjoint. This flute dates from the heyday of band instrument manufacture in the USA, about 30 to 40 years ago. Most are high quality American made band instruments which were made to last forever. We're selling off some of the surplus of our school rental program. This superb instrument was just overhauled with all newdouble skin treated pads, new corks and felts pads by our Susan E.
