Sterling Silver Armstrong Flute with Gold plated Lip plate in case w/bag - P4 ?

Sterling Silver Armstrong  Flute wit Gold plated Lip plate in case w/bag - P4 ?

This beautiful Armstrong Sterling Silver Flute is a rare find for players who want a rich, warm tone. It is perfect for advancing students, serious amateurs, or doubling musicians who need a high-quality instrument without the high price tag of a brand-new model. It is in great shape and I tink it is a model P4, but I am not 100% sure. Please use the photos and judge for yourself. 

Why You Will Love It

• Solid Sterling Silver Body: The body and footjoint are made of genuine sterling silver. This gives you a much deeper, sweeter sound than standard student flutes made of nickel.
• Premium Armstrong Craftsmanship: Known for durability and excellent scale, this vintage model offers great projection and reliable performance.
• Gold plated Lip Plate

Condition and Care

This flute has been previously loved and shows normal signs of light use, but it remains in excellent playing condition. The pads seal well, the keys are responsive, and the joints fit together perfectly. It comes complete with its original hard shell case to keep it safe on the go. It also has a zippered bag that fits over the case. 

An Armstrong flute featuring a ".925" stamp and a "PCR" mark means you are looking at an instrument with a high-quality, solid sterling silver headjoint. The numbers and letters represent the metal purity and the specific design style of the mouth hole. 

Meaning of the Stamps

• .925: This is the universal mark for Sterling Silver. It means the metal is 92.5% pure silver. Solid silver provides a warmer, richer sound compared to standard silver-plated student models.  
• PCR: This stands for Projection, Clarity, Response. It describes a special "embouchure cut" (the shape of the hole you blow into) developed by Armstrong. It features a slightly squared-off hole and an increased riser height to help players get a bigger, clearer tone with less effort.
