Hello all,
I was on ebay recently, and noticed that a nice emerson flute markede ELD ended its auction with 0 bids. It had open holes, low Bfoot,and a stirling silver body and headjoint. The asking price was $400 dollars. This is the description with the listing: "Here's an Emerson Flute in excellent, super clean, condition. Solid silver head, body & foot, open hole with inline G key, low B foot with gizmo key. Head is stamped H C, the body rib is stamped X215 which I guess is the serial #, the foot rib is stamped STW which I'm pretty sure is for silver thin wall. Pads are excellent, Flute is fully adjusted & in playing condition. Comes in an excellent French style case & with a leather Reunion Blues Case Cover."
I was curious to see why it ended with no bids, and looked up "emerson ELD" on google. I couldn't find anything, exept for the fact that somebody liked the series better than the Yamaha flutes that are below the 500 series. I couldn't even find the flutes on the emerson website.
Does anybody know anything about Emerson ELD flutes, or even why nobody bought the Emerson listed on Ebay?

The older Emersons marked Eld are not very good. The newer ones are better now. Emersons don't sell well at all as they are not popular or favored by the flute market. How much was the starting bid on it and did it have a reserve?
