Like new!! This is the perfect flute for a beginning student through high school player. The silver plated headjoint offers players crisp response and ease of playing throughout all levels. The offset G key follows the natural contour of the hands and makes playing comfortable. Armstrong's signature CNC key cups ensure the pads will seat perfectly flat and prevent air leaks. Purchased flute and hardcase NEW from a music store in Hutchinson in September 2014 for $520 (still have original receipt). I am selling the flute (like new, very gently used and cared for), original felt-lined black hard case, felt lined and padded pink nylon case with shoulder strap and handles, "Flutist Friend" (arm mounted music holder for marching band) and a 7-piece cleaning kit. Every single item is truly in pristine shape! From a smoke and pet-free home.
