This is a nickel silver plated Sankyo "Etude" flute body with several new pads. Closed hole, offset G - perfect for doublers! Has been adjusted and plays well with my Sankyo ST-1 and ST-2 headjoints.
The nickel plating is beautiful and the body of the flute has no dents or dings. There are two pinpoint "pock" marks in the plating just underneath the barrel (photo #8), and some small areas of scuffs/plating wear on the front of some of the key cups while I have also tried to show in photos 9, 10, and 11. There is a tiny area of wear on top of the D# key (photo 7). All of these are minor and purely cosmetic, but this is not a new flute so there are signs of wear.
Comes in a newer French style faux leather case that is in excellent condition. Both latches close securely.
If you've got your own headjoint, this would be a fantastic little flute for an aspiring student or an adult amateur.
I am happy to offer insured shipping for a flat rate of $15 anywhere in the lower 48 states.
Thanks for looking!
