I am selling this Lehart flute after purchasing it in May 2013. The reason is because I cannot reach the G-sharp key, due to a small finger injury which rendered my small finger to a permanent 45 degree angle. I can reach the G-sharp on my four-key McGee Rudall Refined flute, but the configuration of the key on this flute cannot be played by me. G-sharp is important to me, hence this sale.
I purchased the flute in May 2013 from Manuel Sassetti in Italy. It’s an excellent flute, as befits the reputation of its maker. Very nice full, resonant, & rounded sound, you can push this flute. Anyone who lives close enough to me is welcome to sample it, and hang on to it for a few days.
Here is link to Manuel Sasseti playing this flute:

Photos of flute (taken by me) are below. I would like to receive what I paid for it (plus shipping), which was 1,100 euros, on May 15, 2013. I have documentation of the shipping and transaction info with Manuel.
