Buyer's Premium:

This lot comprises a Yamaha silver-plated transverse flute of three-piece construction, consisting of a headjoint, main body, and C-footjoint. The instrument is a student-level model featuring closed-hole keys. The body is stamped with the Yamaha name, though further markings including the serial number are not clearly legible. The flute is housed in a brand-fitted blue plastic hard-shell case with a blue plush interior. Accompanying accessories include a wooden cleaning rod and a conductor’s baton with a white shaft and black handle. Also included is a vintage folding metal music stand by JS&P, featuring a light blue hammered enamel finish. The stand is contained within its original illustrated cardboard box, which specifies it was made in Western Germany.


Condition report:

The flute appears to be in good used condition with some surface tarnishing and light wear consistent with age and use. The case shows external scuffing and carries a small white adhesive label marked 7912. The music stand is well-preserved within the box. The original cardboard box shows significant wear, including creasing, edge rubbing, and some structural softening.
