I have just acquired a brand new flute w/case by Armstrong, USA.  It is a beauty cosmetically and functionally and ready to give as a gift to a novice or advanced student. Why pay 30 or 35 dollars a month in rental fees?  Should your musician decide to discontinue, it is lost money.  This instrument, if purchased can always be resold for probably more than you paid.  I am John, retired and living  at 4318 Oak Ridge Bend in the Foxborough Subdivision of Valdosta just off North Valdosta RD behind the cemetary.  229 241 7638 or Cell: 229 232 9191
