This Armstrong 104 flute has had very little use. It has just been serviced by New York’s top woodwind tech Emile Catricala and plays perfectly through the entire range. Pads are in shape excellent condition with grear seal and all keys move freely. For a beginner to succeed on flute they need a free blowing instrument, and this one fits the bill perfectly. Includes heavy duty Selmer case. This is a great deal on an American made flute that originally sold for over $600. I take pride in my perfect seller rating and want you to love your new instrument. I offer a 30 day no questions asked return policy for the full purchase price. J590Eflute
