Rare Antique C.G. Conn C Flute Ebonite Headjoint Satin Silver Unibody w/ Gold Plating 440hz

This neat, old Conn flute features ebonite headjoint, with gold plated crown and tenon connection, satin silver plated body (unibody aka one-piece body & foot) with gold plated nickel silver keywork. The mechanism is Boehm featuring closed G#, French-pointed closed hole keys, offset G (with old-school G trill arm), C-B trill key (old-school but can be converted to Bb trill), soldered toneholes, double rollers on the foot, D# key has an interesting shape (like Boosey), left hand ebonite hand rest with mother of pearl inset and a post receiver for left hand crutch (crutch is missing). The keys have some wear and some pitting and we'd rate remaining key gold plating around 65%+. This flute measures up to A-440hz though is currently unplayable and needs a full overhaul to be put in playing condition. Everything, minus crutch T-shaped piece, is complete. Includes original case that could use some TLC but is in good shape for being ~100 years old. The clasps to hold the case shut are missing and interior could use some refining to properly house this flute.

Again, a super neat and rare old Conn option hard to find, in need of total restoration to be playable but worth it!
