I Wouldn't Touch It With A Ten Foot Poll.

It's Only A C-Footjoint

NOT WORTH IT

it's probably a typo because if it were really worth that much the person would be talking their butt of trying to explain why. this seems like a standard "person selling unwanted student model flute" ad. but the value of a flute isn't necessarily lowered because of the footjoint...there are c footjoint flutes that could potentially be much more expenssive than b footjoint flutes.

Definitely...don't buy it. It looks like a Gemeinhardt 2sp...I /think/. It looks exactly like the one my friend has. The keys have that shape, offset, the headjoint looks about the same, C footjoint, etc.

<Added>

Oh yeah...I think that model sells at the least $399~500.

I am not planning on buying it, as I play a beautiful Powell!! Just found it quite amusing.

It's probably a joke or a typo.....

and once you get to high level flutes, you can easily see a c footjoint flute for more than a b foot one.

Yep, that has got to be a typo. Rem is right, that is just a student Gemeinhardt flute. You can buy one for less then $400 brand new too.

It is true that it is crazy to advertise a flute as being worth so much without mentioning the brand.

However I wonder how guys can think they identify a brand from an undetailed photo. I have worked on 125+ brands of flute, and there are probably many more brands than that out there that I have not worked on. I would not even begin to attempt put a brand label on that photo.

Or maybe guy looked up flutes prices on the internet, and saw professoinal flutes selling for $4000 and didn't realize there are different level flutes. He must of just figured 'hey if they can sell them for that much, maybe I can'. Kind of like the people on ebay who sell used flute for the same price as the new ones.

Or it could have been a typo like everyone else said.

I have worked on way less then that and I can even tell that it is a student Gemeinhardt. I would have thought you knew your brands better then that.... I know a Gemeinhardt when I see one. Go ahead and asking the seller.

It also could be an S series which is a basically a Gemeinhardt stamped with a different brand name.

Yeah. I know this is very little supported evidence but my friend has a flute that is straight clean identical in every little detail and way from the crown on the flute, to the footjoint.

Based on the distinctive key style and headjoint crown, and the seller's geographical location, I also believe it is a Gemeinhardt student model.
