#Used emerson flute serial number#
The first way is to look around the serial number and if there is a 7 preceding it, then it is a silver tube and if there is a 9, it has silver keys too. What do you mean? (The only number is B59249 and it's on the barrel.)bruce baileyIt depends on if it is a sterling tube model or an all sterling (keys and posts). I don't know what you mean by a number proceeding the serial number, though. It's in mint condition and has a hard shell case with no handle which fits inside a leather case, and both are labeled 'Emerson'. Bruce:I replied to thread but it didn't work. I recently sold a model 10 (open, all silver) for $650 with a recent repad. If it is a 7, probably worth about $450 (assuming no tarnish, scrathes and good pads) and if it is a 9, maybe $700.ĭeduct about 25% if it is a C foot rather than a B foot. The 7 had a plastic style case and the 10 came with a leather case with a cover.

#Used emerson flute professional#
(But since I bought it in the early 90's, we can assume it was made between 19.)Since I paid $1000, and it is a professional model, and it is all sterling silver, what would the current value be? What could my asking price be?)Thank you so much! (Yes, it says 'sterling' on all three pieces of the flute.) It is a closed-hole professional, all sterling silver flute with the serial number B59249 and is on the barrel - so reading the threads it looks like it was made between 19. Hi:I bought an ALL sterling silver Emerson in the early 90's for $1000 I believe it had one previous owner. We homeschool and tend to self teach everything. Again, it needs new corks but it will be good for him to learn to refurbish it himself. We also picked up a Bundy at the same time so if it would make a better learner then I would rather start him out on it. He is 9 and I don't would hate for it to get damaged if it is an expensive horn. The serial number is D 71092 and the number under that is 2.Will this make a good learner flute? The logo is like the one in the original pic here, so it is the older logo, I guess. I'm sure it will need new corks and pads. Yesterday, I picked up an Emerson flute at a thrift store for my son. But yeah ADVICE PLEASE COns and pros as this is my first flute I am going to buy, and i dont really have more money to pay for other flutes. It probably was made in the 1982-97 period with a $1000 USD price tag',or armstrong 80b (sterling body and head, with sterling plated keys, B foot, gold liped plated, E mechanism, open holes), that has just been recently maintained at the shop with receipt dated August 2011.Soo which of these 2 would you prefer to get.Īrmstrong priced at $450, whilst the emerson flute priced at like around the $300 mark but the seller says they havnt maintained the flute since mid 2010, but barely used.Just wondering what is easier to use and what item is better to buy? Was looking into the Armstrong 80b as the item as it is listed as medium to professional level. Emerson Model 10, serial number 10 735 7, similar to what you described as 'That would be a model 10 with sterling body, head, keys, posts, closed holes etc. Hello Bruce,Just got a question on pending in what is better, as I saw 2 second hand flutes advertisement sellings. It would be disturbing if some tones sound 'weird'.
If i stick with studying everyday:oops:And for $40, I think it will need some fixing then.Better let it checked at a flutestore. I would buy myself an open hole flute in 2 years. MmmmFor a student it is better to use a closed hole flute.I did play in an orchestra years ago and I've got my Dutch Orchestra diploma.Since last week I decided to play again, after havent been playing at all for seven years, and even I decided to buy a closed hole flute.An open holed is here concidered as a flute for professionals. After having not played the flute for a very long time, I decided to get back into it, but having no flute and very little funds meant resorting to eBay, which I know is a risk but I really had very little options.
