This is a mint condition Yamaha limited edition, fully handmade, Takahashi model (created to simulate the classic German style handmade flutes) sterling silver flute that is 24k gold plated throughout.  Selling off my flute collection unfortunately.  Functionally perfect with no significant scratches, tarnish or dents.  This is truly a rare collectors item and is not made or available anywhere.  Features in include hand cut solid sterling headjoint, body and keys, closed holes, offset G, C foot, drawn toneholes, heavy wall tubing, C#/D rollers, extra long G key, G/A trill key, 24k plating throughout, fully handmade.  Comes with a leather wrapped hard french style case, but no case cover.  It is all tuned up and ready to play, although has been in storage for some time, so an inexpensive clean, oil, alignment would be best (no overhaul needed).  This is hands down the best flute I have ever played and it pains me to list it.  That also means I am not very flexible on the price.  Please email me if you need more details about the shipping options and cost - the high cost is due to shipping insurance for this item.  It will be shipped by UPS for speedy service with excellent insurance.  Please see my feedback to see the other instruments I have sold with all positive feedback.
