Product is in cosmetically good condition for its age. Completely practical, all matching serial #'s, the pads wear replaced sometime earlier, and had been played minimally given that then over a period of 2 years. Although pad replacement has had been performed, as I show it as refurbished there so, I would advise such service be performed again if a newbie player entered into the intermediate level of playing. At this time, pads are not sticking, and do seal. Serial # 85981, seems a rather low number, yet my guess would be this flute (judging by the case) is a 1970s production, however rather possibly earlier (it's difficult to figure out the year of a Bundy by the serial number. Nobody seems to have an identification number list that's considered to be genuinely reliable) Bundy is now terminated, and collectable. This item contains cleaning rod, case, all hinges intact and not broken/damaged. Flute has no dings or dents. Complete is as visualized, and of such age. Flute was constantly cleaned after use. Corks in tack. Choice is in cosmetically good condition for its age. Completely functional, all matching serial #'s, the pads put on changed sometime back, and had actually been played minimally ever since over a period of 2 years. Pad replacement has actually had actually been performed, as I provide it as refurbished there so, I would recommend such service be performed again if a beginner player got in into the intermediate level of playing. At this time, pads are not sticking, and do seal. Do not hesitate to call me for additional details, photos, or any such inquiry.
