Handmade Pearl Dolce Semi-Pro Flute Offset G Split E B Foot Handcut PH-7 Sterling Headjoint

This listing is for a vintage, 1994, Pearl Dolce handmade in Japan semi-professional model in lovely, near mint condition. This particular flute was produced for the Japanese market and marked as a model 685. Check out the unique scroll style logo! This model features a sterling silver PH-7 handcut headjoint paired with a silver plated body, foot and keywork. The mechanism is Pearl's usual pinless mechanism featuring French-pointed open hole keys, offset G with split E and B foot with gizmo. The pads are older but in lovely shape and this flute is around 8.5-9+/10 condition cosmetically as you can tell it was hardly played. This flute was last adjusted last summer and played a few hours for a pit band orchestra. It's spent the last several months in our display cabinet so it has some light tarnish between the keys, etc. (We decided to keep whichever Pearl doesn't sell first!) This flute is ready to play as-is and would be a fabulous upgrade for the budding musician! These flutes are bulletproof and reliable from the production time where semi-pro was still made in the same manner as the pro Maesta series. Included with the sale of this flute is a Pearl wooden cleaning rod, case and leather cover. There is a small piece of foam missing from the top of the case that secured the body a little better from shifting.

All in all this is a lovely flute ready to be played instead of just displayed in our home. This is a fabulous flute from our personal collection.

New price on the more mass-produced Pearl Dolce is ~$2500 + tax.
