FS: vintage E-flat 6 key german flute

[shakyhands]

This is from the original description of the flute purchased from a dealer in Poland:

Old German flute in e flat/440 HZ from 19th century (about 1860-1890) made in black cocuswood with 6 keys and tuning slide, length about 580mm.

The flute was repaired and fully reconditioned, with new synthetic pads, cleared, etc, in a professional workshop by Grzegorz Tomaszewicz - gtmusicalinstruments.com

The instrument was originally tuned to A 432 Hz., now plays in 440 Hz

My additional comments:

This flute is in great condition, with tight seals on keys. It has small finger holes, and a clear mellow tone. The head is fully lined. Since the flute is pitched to E flat, the distance between holes is smaller, so requires less finger stretch to play.

Update:

I was not too intent on moving this flute at first, so I highballed the price. However, I now am looking to acquire a specific flute and am dropping the price of this one to $500 plus shipping. For some new clips, check these out (the vids have two flutes - the one described for sale here is the second in each vid):
