SOLD AS-IS FOR RESTORATION

Vintage ebonite 8-key flute in Nach Meyer style, marked "LP" (Long Low Pitch). Missing the low C and C# keys. This durable ebonite construction makes it an excellent candidate for restoration as a beginner instrument or "kitchen flute."

Requires full restoration including:

  • Complete repadding
  • Key adjustment
  • Head joint work (liner needs to be pulled and repositioned to properly align with embouchure hole)

The body appears fairly solid with no major cracking. The LP (Low Pitch) designation may make this flute well-suited for A=440 playing once restored. Being sold as-is in unplayable condition.
