Anyone ever heard of a Vedette flute? I can`t find any info on internet. Looks like plated, closed key, offset G, C footjoint.

Did you get it new or used?

Possible gift if I want it.

Sorry to say this but with the discription you gave and the fact that you cant find anything about it probobaly means it is a cheaply made chinese inport.Sorry

I have to agree with Leprachaun on that one. Would the flute be new when you get it, or is someone buying it used and giving it to you?

It looks to be extremely lightly used. no scratches or dents or anything visible. I`m still buying a new flute (see the thread on the Jupiter). I don`t know how old the Vedette is. i`m sure its worth at least "free". I don`t know if it is worth more than that, but I can`t find anything about it online. Is that odd?

I found a vedette piccolo:

No helpful info though... sorry.
