Avanti 2000 Series Silver Flute Offset G, B Foot, C# Trill, Split E with Case and Cleaning rodFlute is in good used condition, solid silver, open hole. Flute is approximately 5 years old and was used by a University flute professor as a back up flute for studio students. *The first trill key cork has come off and needs to be replaced (cork is included with flute-see last photo). Other than that, it's in good used condition. Cleaning rod, hard case, and soft case/bag are included. Avanti flutes feature a Sterling silver hand-cut Avanti-Brannen headjoint designed by Bickford Brannen. A well-balanced mechanism, also designed by Mr. Brannen and built to exacting standards, produces an action as light and crisp as that of professional flutes.Using state of the art manufacturing tools and true professional design, Mr. Brannen brings to the intermediate price range a flute that truly competes with much higher priced professional flutes.For those who don’t know who Bickford Brannen is, he is a co-founder of the Brannen Brothers Flutemakers company that is known by many professional flautists as one of if not the best flutes in the world. In 2008, Bick was awarded the “Lifetime Achievement Award” by the National Flute Association.The Avanti flutes are Bick’s design, made at the Conn-Selmer Woodwind facility in Elkhart, Indiana. They are in a relatively new classification of flutes that we refer to as “Pre-Professional” or “Advanced Intermediate” flutes. This classification of flutes essentially are flutes that feature professional hand-cut headjoints but are priced closer to the “Intermediate” price range.The headjoint itself accounts for well over half of the performance of a flute. So when you combine a $1,000+ headjoint on a flute that sells for a total of $1,579, the overall performance of the flute will far exceed what a typical $1,500 flute in the “Intermediate” category would.There are many things about the Avanti flutes that differ from the other flutes in this emerging category that really make the Avanti the most impressive flutes in their category.Handcut sterling silver Avanti-Brannen headjoint, sterling silver body and footjoint, silver plated keys, sterling silver barrel and footjoint receiver, 10K gold springs, French (open hole), B footjoint.Features - A=442 Cooper Scale - Sterling silver body and footjoint tubing - Sterling silver barrel and footjoint receiver - B footjoint - 10K gold springs - Silver-plated mechanism - French Keys - Schmidt Pads - Made in The USAPlease do not hesitate to ask any questions. If you need any detailed photos of any particular area of the flute, I am happy to provide that upon request as well. Item will ship within 3 days of receiving payment. Rushed shipping available upon request prior to payment. Happy Bidding!
