I hope that it is allowed to post a "for sale" ad ?
I am selling a brand new Yamaha 221 flute that I personally purchased JUST 3 WEEKS AGO at Flute World, one of the most respectable stores in Michigan and in the United States, and played less than 2 hours. I am 57 years old and I am currently studying clarinet with a teacher, and in addition to that I am self-teaching the trumpet. I wanted to try the flute and I choose the Yamaha 221 after having compared it with the Gemeinhardt and the Jupiter.
ButI finally decided that the flute is not the right instrument for me. More over, my teacher told me that it would be too ambitious, at my age, to try to learn two instruments at the same time. The returning time frame at Flute World is 15 days, I exceeded it by a few days, so I decided to sell this beautiful flute privately. The flute is 100% PERFECT and it comes with an elegant hard case, a cleaning rod, a brief Care of the Instrument manual, and a couple of soft fabric towels to clean the instrument both inside and outside. I paid $ 525.00 plus taxes for this flute.I am asking for $ 400.00 included shipping in the United States. I believe that this is a great opportunity to purchase an excellent instrument from a very respected Maker, in brand new condition, at a very good price. Please do not hesitate to contact me at gpavone@comcast.net if you are interested and if you'd like to receive photos of the flute. Thanks.
