W.T. Armstrong Model 180 Gold Plated Sterling Silver Body & Head Flute Open Hole

Up for sale is a W.T. Armstrong Model 180 flute. This professional, open holed flute is gold plated and has a sterling silver head and body. Speaking to flute experts, this seems to be a fairly uncommon flute. With serial number 6 6024, this flute seems to be from mid 1972 according to online databases dating W.T. Armstrong flutes. This flute also seems to be in the key of C, but please judge this for yourself, since I am not an expert in flutes.

Some of the gold plating near identifying markings, connections, and finger holes are scuffed/coming off. Wear can be seen throughout flute. I am not a flute player, so I don't know how much work this flute needs to be in tune/concert ready. With this in mind, please please please look carefully at any photos to see more information regarding this flute style and condition. Flute pads very white with little signs of heavy wear (see photos). Let us know if there are any extra angles that you would like to see pictures of and we would be happy to try to accommodate.

If anyone has any more information regarding this flute that isn't in this listing, or a correction to the listing, please let me know. As a seller, I want to provide the most accurate information to the buyer as I can. No amount of research I do into an item like this can match the knowledge of a seasoned professional with years of playing experience!
