This old antique musical piece seems in decent enough shape. I know little about it or any other flute for that matter. I acquired it from the estate sale of a retired University Music professor. All I can attest to is that it's very old. I also have no idea if it's been refurbished or not. The only flaw I notieced is that there are two hairline cracks of which I have tried to show in the phot's. Please ask questions and or do your own research on C. Fischer, N.Y. and pat attention to photo's hould you bid.
