The Artley 17-0 flute is used, but in great playing condition. It has recently been checked over by our repairman, and sanitized. It is silver plated. This is a good quality student flute made in the USA. There are minor scratches and dents in the finish, as shown in the pictures. It comes with a hardshell case and a flute tuning rod. This item is sold "as is- final sale".
