Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Flutes
These American made Armstrong flutes were among the best flutes ever made. The tubing is heavy wall about .018" which would be a special order and usually only found on older instruments. Also touts a .20 height wall on the embouchure. Along with the sterling silver tube you get the thickest and creamiest tone imaginable. This one was a true find!

I bought a brand new Armstrong 80B late in 1976, and I still own it, play it, and love it! This flute is superb; it took me through high school, college, recitals, master classes, competitions, auditions, concerts and performances with NO PROBLEMS. The tone is superlative- my 80B has a sterling head and body, a plated foot and plated keys. There is absolutely NO wear to the plating, despite a lesson, rehersal, and practice schedule that had me playing more than 20 hours a week for more than 11 years. I've never had anything fail/ break / malfunction on my flute in the entire 41 years I've owned it. Over the years, I have had two complete overhauls professionally done, in which my entire flute is stripped down, cleaned, polished, reassembled with new (1st beryllium, then gold) springs, new pads, and all keys are regulated and adjusted perfectly. Between the overhauls, I do regular maintenance: COAs (clean, oil, adjust) every year or so. Love your flute and it will love you! There is a reason why Armstrong is the world's top selling brand: gorgeous flute, fantastic tone, well built - sturdy, durable, but professionally exacting. I played this flute at a US embassy function overseas, and for the entire time during which I was the principal flutist for a small symphony orchestra. It's plenty of flute, believe me! :)Read full review
