    Repair and set up of this flute included
    :
    ·
    All pads replaced.
    The pads were properly shimmed and the tone holes leveled.
    These fine steps are what they don’t do at the factory, so this flute will play better than when it was new.
    ·
    Keys fitted for best possible action and stability.
    This is another step they miss at the factory.
    ·
    All key bumpers replaced
    ·
    Instrument properly tuned to A440
    ·
    Tenons properly fitted
    ·
    Instrument and head joint cleaned and sanitized
    ·
    Brand New Case
    A cleaning rod and case strap is also included
    The instrument is scratched throughout from use and there are blemishes from dent removal.
    None of this is play effecting.
