Please examine all photographs carefully, as they are an important part of the description.
Playing condition has not been professionally tested/serviced by us. As with any vintage woodwind instrument, it may require cleaning, adjustment, pad replacement, or other service before being put into regular playing condition. We therefore recommend that the buyer have the flute inspected and serviced by a qualified flute technician if necessary.
The case shows signs of age/use but is included with the instrument. Cleaning rod is also included.
