Vintage 1980 Gemeinhardt 2SP flute manufactured during the highly regarded "Elhart, Indiana" production era. This instrument features a unique and highly functional modification: the standard student C-footjoint has been swapped for a 3-key B-footjoint with a Gizmo key. The joint fits securely and snugly with a seamless seal.
This hybrid configuration offers the reliable, easy-playing response of a student 2SP body combined with the extended lower register and enhanced resonance of an intermediate B-foot. It is an excellent choice for advancing students, woodwind doublers, or adult hobbyists looking for extended range on a budget.
Purchased used in 2018, lightly used for 2-3 years.
