Going over the flute carefully today I noticed a couple of additional minor things I need to mention, and I am lowering the price accordingly:
There are a few light scratches on the flute that will likely buff out completely, or very nearly so, if put on the buffing wheel by a professional. I’ve buffed out much worse.
Some very minor scratching on one or two of the silver rings. Many people wouldn’t even notice, but it’s there. Again, easily buffed out by a pro.
There is a ding on the edge of the endcap. Easy to buff......naw, that ain’t gonna buff out

To my eye it’s not a really bad ding, but I realize it might bother some. Of course a new end cap could be made, or the current endcap could be reshaped ever so slightly and no one would be the wiser, except another Byrne owner. This would be really inexpensive to do, literally 15 seconds of turning once the endcap is chucked on the lathe. Or you could have something more ornate done.
The tuning slide is not as tight as I like. It’s not in any danger of leaking or falling off, but it could be snugger. Again, easily and quickly remedied, but I hesitate to adjust it to my liking since the flute is being sold.
Finally, once adjusted to local humidity of the new owner and played in a bit, a few more windings of thread might me called for at the tenons. Or not, depends on your location.
So there it is, some minor, cosmetic and/or personal preference items, in addition to the hairline cracked barrel mentioned above.
Lowering the price to $1250. Shipped Conus.
