This is a Yamaha flute. It's made in Japan, so I hope you can maintain it and use it for a long time. I found one pad that is torn. There are marks and smudges all over, like fingerprints or handprints. → The dirt (marks) on the lip plate is just a sample. Please understand that these kinds of marks are present all over. If you are concerned about the damage to the hard case and soft case, please consider replacing them. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about details. I cannot offer a discount. This is not a solid silver model, but a nickel silver one. It has an E mechanism. I plan to wrap it in bubble wrap for shipping.
