Vintage Armstrong Flute, the Emeritus 21. This is a hand crafted early 1960’s closed-hole flute with off set G and C foot joint. Solid Silver Head, Body, Foot & Keys 14K Gold Springs. Matching serial number is hand stamped on the body & foot joint. 

I purchased this flute back in 1974 from a woodwind repair shop that used to be on Roosevelt Way in Seattle, WA. I had it re-padded back in 1987 at Northwest Winds 12308 Lake City Way NE, Seattle WA

The flute is in very good condition with some scratches, from normal use. The tone holes are drawn & rolled, that seats the pads much better and they last much longer therefore the pads on the flute are in good shape and the flute plays very nicely with a beautiful, full rich warm tone. 

This flute served me well both on and off the stage for over twenty years. I worked in the music industry for many years and I swear this flute sounds better than many flutes that cost well over $5,000.00. 

This would be a wonderful instrument for anyone wanting to move up to warm tone of precious metal. As in this, Solid Silver instrument, without paying an enormous price. The flute comes with two cases, one concert case and one regular case along with a flute stand.
