Re: Somone got a good deal!
I was tracking that one as well, but decided not to go for it due to the headjoint issues (and the fact that I already have more than enough flutes). Also wasn't completely certain of the pitch (though I know typically American flutes of that era work fine in modern pitch more often than not). Not really enough info from original owner to be sure (just overall length).
No doubt once it is repaired it will be a great flute, but I hope it went to someone who can take care of that headjoint split under the lip band properly.
