QR Code Link to This Post
This DeFord Model 8 is a handmade, intermediate premium step-up instrument. This flute plays beautifully. Very responsive, rich tone, and easy to produce full sound and volume control in any octave. Lovingly cared for.
Great choice for a serious high schooler who’s ready for a step-up flute.
Also great for a lifelong player who needs a rock-solid back-up flute.
DeFord flutes are respected, vintage American-made instruments manufactured in Elkhart, Indiana, primarily between 1969 and 1978. Founded by master craftsman Emerson DeFord, these flutes are widely known for their durability, solid silver headjoints and/or bodies, and reliable intonation. They are highly regarded as great intermediate or step-up instruments.
Emerson DeFord was a master craftsman who worked with prominent flute companies like Armstrong and Gemeinhardt before establishing his own brands in Elkhart, Indiana.
Comes in a Gemeinhardt hard case for flute and piccolo. Includes metal swab wand and 5 open hole plugs.
This flute was bequeathed to the Rocky Mountain Flute Choir, and its sale benefits the Choir.
There is a spot of tarnish on the barrel.
