Sankyo CF-401 2018

Sankyo CF-401 Handmade Solid Sterling Silver Flute – Excellent Condition

I’m selling my Sankyo CF-401 professional handmade flute, purchased around 2018 for approximately $11,000 USD.

Specifications:

• Brand: Sankyo
• Model: CF-401
• Solid sterling silver construction
• Open-hole keys (French style)
• Offset G
• B footjoint
• Original Sankyo headjoint
• All original parts and components
• Made in Japan

Condition:

This flute is in excellent cosmetic condition and has been carefully maintained and stored properly since purchase. It has been played very little over the past few years and shows no known damage.

All parts are original, and the flute has never undergone any repairs or modifications. It has only received routine cleaning and maintenance.

I recently brought it to Flute Center in New York City for an in-person evaluation. Their staff confirmed that the instrument is exceptionally well preserved, with no visible damage and a well-aligned, tight-fitting key mechanism.

The flute has not received a professional Clean, Oil, and Adjust (COA) service recently, so routine servicing may be beneficial depending on the buyer’s preferences.

Additional Information:

The current retail price of a new Sankyo CF-401 in the U.S. is approximately $11,000–$12,000.

The instrument is located in New Jersey, near New York City. Serious buyers are welcome to arrange an in-person inspection or play-testing.
