    Description

    2021 Model ordered in April.  Beautiful in both appearance and sound.  I am selling because I need to concentrate on my C flute skills and need to purchase a very expensive C flute.  Hercules floor stand included.
    On researching the nickel plating issue where my index finger rests on the barrel, evidently the acid in your skin can discolor or remove the blk nickel plating.  This makes more sense than wear since it truly hasn't been used that much.  FC of NY sells flute cushions and I have ordered a set.  They would go where your left hand finger rests and where your thumb supports the body.  They evidently serve both as a cushion and as protection. I will include them in the sale along with the floor stand.
