This looks like it might could be restored to be a very nice flute.

Overall profile and styling is similar to Clementi Nicholson.

It was such a sweet deal, the flute was listed under Bassoons, as possibly made out of bone or wood... It was holding at $56 when I last checked, I come back it was at $580! I though geez, how did they find it? Well, after I lost, dejectedly went to C&F.... :x
