Emerson 8B Solid Sterling Silver Flute – Open Hole, B Foot – w/ Case & Papers

For sale is an Emerson Model 8B concert flute from the DeFord era (Elkhart, Indiana, USA), serial F88387. Specs: - Solid sterling silver headjoint, body, AND footjoint (all stamped sterling) - Open-hole keys, inline G - B footjoint with gizmo key - Silver-plated mechanism Condition — honest used: visible scratches on the headjoint (see photos), a small dent on the headjoint tube (photographed), and typical tarnish on the mechanism from age. Pads look intact but aged; I have not had it serviced, so plan on a checkup by your tech (or play as-is). No major dents elsewhere; keys move freely. Case in good shape, latches work. Includes original hardshell case and the original Emerson warranty card with matching serial number. Shipping: insured UPS Ground / USPS Priority, packed in the hard case inside a padded box.
