This flute (with Burkart headjoint #721) had only one owner who purchased it in 1998. Overall, it has a tremendous amount of heft to the lower register, and the middle and upper registers are well-balanced.

The flute has Straubinger pads and plays very well in its current condition. It is housed in an unmarked case.
