This would be a wonderful step-up flute for an advancing flautist. New silicone hole plugs make playing easy for students used to closed-hole flutes, plugs are easily removable for more experienced players. Flute is newly overhauled, clean and pretty, and it plays great. Current list price is $1,399. I am well aware that buying a used instrument sight-unseen is potentially risky. For that reason, I am providing a video of this flute being played. Go to YouTube.com and search for GR8flute5. Sale proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders, an organization that provides free medical care to people throughout the world. This is a chance to get a great advanced level flute and do some good in the world. Buyers are welcome to a full refund if they are not fully satisfied. Please look at my other auction items, I will be offering several flutes at a time for the next month or so, all proceeds going to charity. You can learn about my project by going to YouTube.com and entering GR8flutes as a search term.
