This Buffet Crampon Sterling Silver Cooper Scale flute, model 227, is in very good condition and all parts are fully working. It has been made in England. The headjoint is sterling silver as marked on it and the main body and footjoint are silver plated. This makes it ideal for the next step up from the beginner to iintermediate, the sterling silver headjoint improving the quality of the sound and needing a little more expertise. The pads are in excellent condition and there are no obvious marks on the body, just minimal wear marks. It comes in a solid black case lined with red velvet, also in very good condition with cleaning cloth. There is a black carry case also, which fits snugly around the solid case. If you have any further questions, please contact me via this site. Thank you.
