Description (revised)
Theobald Boehm (1794-1881) revolutionized flutes and flute playing with the key system he patented in 1847. Offered for sale Flute stamped by the maker "THEO. BOEHM" on the main body. It comes in it's original case  and includes cleaning stick and brushes.  The instrument is in great shape.  The  head joint has  different rings  and does not appear (in my opinion) to be  original to the body. There is a crude but functional alteration to the G# key.
Shipping fee is $20.00 for insured premium shipping.
