Vintage Nikkan FL-23 Concert Flute with Original Hard Case & Cleaning Rod - 66cm

A beautiful and historically significant vintage Japanese Western concert flute (フルート), meticulously manufactured by Nikkan (日本管楽器株式会社 - Nippon Kangakki), a pioneering wind instrument maker that was later fully absorbed by Yamaha. The center joint is formally engraved with the crisp brand and model designation: "Nikkan / FL-23 / JAPAN".

This vintage musical instrument features a traditional 3-piece knockdown construction consisting of the headjoint, body joint with closed-hole keys (covered keys), and footjoint. The instrument showcases classic Japanese engineering from the mid-20th century, offering a solid mechanism, responsive keys, and a brilliant tone favored by students and nostalgic collectors alike. The lot comes complete with its original vintage black faux-leather hard storage case featuring a soft blue velvet-lined fitted interior and a golden "Nikkan" logo badge on the outer lid, as well as a white plastic cleaning/tuning rod.
