This was my daughter's step-up flute when she was in college, bought new from KBB. Because I used to play the flute semi-professionally, I made sure she took care of hers.

It was cleaned and then stored for a few years in its case with an anti-tarnish strip. The pads look good (no green mould), there's no tarnish anywhere I can see, and there's only a few very minor surface scratches. No dents and no bent keys from being put in the case wrong.

I assembled it and had a quick play. I could go from middle C (lowest note possible) up three octaves (after which I forgot the fingering) without any problems or sticky keys.

I do not remember when it was last serviced or repadded so the buyer should probably take it for a checkup and service. I can only say that I've played it and had a close look at it and I cannot see anything wrong - it looks virtually new.


**From an article about buying a first flute (I recommend reading the whole article):

Second-Hand Flutes
Tread carefully in the minefield that is the second-hand flute market. As well as the potential issues remaining from the manufacturer, an old flute might have been neglected. The pads could be growing a green mould which, although potentially impressive to mycologists, would not make for a healthy instrument.

If your budget only allows for a second-hand instrument, please consider the following:

Buy a brand that you have heard of
‘Yamaha’ or ‘Pearl’ are brands you have heard of. ‘Gabriel’ or other vaguely angelic names are not brands you have heard of. Google if unsure.
