Purchased at Yamano Music in July 2014. Used in a club activity for about 4 years, and then stored, being played once or twice a year. I recently played it and confirmed that it still produces sound. After cleaning, the cleaning cloth has been washed. The body, case, bag, and cleaning rod all show signs of wear and tear, such as small scratches and scuffs, due to use. Please consider this before purchasing. I think this model is also suitable for beginners. If you wish, I will include the Snoopy cleaning cloth I have listed as a bonus. I apologize if it sells before you purchase. #Flute #PearlFlute
