UPDATE: This flute will likely need new pads. Lots of air leaking. Our consignor has elected to dramatically drop the price and sell the flute as-is. Having the pads redone could cost between $200-$300, with a full overhaul being closer to $600. The price has been reduced to $649 to account for either procedure should the buyer choose to go through with it
