This is a Nikkan (ニッカン) YFL-211 flute. I used it with great care in the school band. There are some minor scratches, but it played without any problems. I put it away and stored it for a long time, so I think it needs maintenance. Polishing it would likely make it look quite beautiful... I will sell it as is. ※Nikkan was absorbed and merged into Yamaha in 1970. ※Please check my profile before purchasing. Thank you.
