I would be wary of things like that as well. You notice no brand name is given, and it originates in China. While the seller has 100% positive feedback, that's based on only 9 pieces of feedback. Also, that's not a bass flute. Bass flutes do not have straight heads because they are so long. It may be an alto with a straight head, or a concert flute (which I think is most likely), but the fact that the seller can't even list it properly concerns me. Considering the extremely low selling price, I think we can assume it's not a very desireable flute, which may reflect on it's quality. I'll admit it's a pretty nice looking flute, at least as far as the pictures show, but who knows what the buyer might end up with.

Yes, that is odd. Here's the same person listing a "Stunning Band Green Flute":

Of course, the green flute is actually a green piccolo.

I know that that isn't a bass flute. That is why I posted it in a "this is rather humorous" thread. It looks like a cheapo concert flute
