This is a used item, having been used for about 2-3 months, but the condition is good, including the pads. The lip plate and the inside of the head joint are gold-plated. With the high price of gold, it would cost tens of thousands of yen to have this done at a workshop. The original case and cleaning tools are not included. Only the flute itself and a wooden case (made by Cecilia Musica, with some dirt and scratches) are included. I owned this as a spare instrument, but I don't have much time left, so I'm going to sell it. This is a great deal for those looking for a flute that's different from others. Please note that I haven't had it adjusted since I bought it, so I recommend having it inspected at Yamaha or a workshop.
