Yamaha 881 B Foot Flute (Body Only) with Soldered Toneholes

Description

This is a beautiful Yamaha 881 Solid Silver Custom flute with SOLDERED TONEHOLES, in incredible condition, and with recent COA!
I purchased this flute as a backup since the tone holes are soldered, and that's what I prefer but are a rare find at this price point. Since then, the amazing Rachel Baker at Powell Flutes did some great customization work on it, and has kept it in impeccable playing condition for me.
Since I play an offset G normally, Rachel made me a offset G extension that is removable (included) since my main flutes are offset, and installed a G donut (high E Facilatator). She also added Straubinger pads in the lower joint to add resonance and response as well as refitting the case.
So here is your chance to pick up a customized, soldered tone hole instrument for less than half the price of what you would new, with a few custom extras.
Perfect as a main orchestral instrument, advanced student, backup for a die hard soldered tone hole player like myself, or great for a commercial doubler who wants a pro flute in like new condition that is very responsive and has a big beautiful sound.

Also available are two different headjoints, now listed separately in my other auctions that would complement this body quite well. The Wimberly was a favorite of mine, but the Williams also fits perfectly and sounds beautiful on it. Your choice sold separately!
