H.N. White Co. was a major American musical instrument manufacturer that existed from 1893 to 1965. Their saxophones, trumpets, and trombones are still highly regarded today and are popular as vintage instruments. On the other hand, there is little documentation and few in circulation regarding their flutes, and the details are not very clear. However, according to catalogs from the time, there appear to have been three models of flutes. This item has a "K" marking on the head joint, suggesting it is likely a KING model, which was considered their top-of-the-line model. While it appears to be in relatively good condition for an instrument from about 90 years ago, there are scratches, dirt, and plating wear commensurate with its age. There is also a dent on the head cap. A case is included. There is no sticking or freezing of screws or shafts, and all moving parts operate smoothly. However, the pads need to be replaced, and some cork parts are missing, so maintenance is required if it is to be used for playing. We do not have expert knowledge of flutes, so please examine the photos carefully for the condition. Please consider this item, which is a vintage instrument from about 90 years ago, with the understanding that it is being sold as-is. Management Number 9156
