WICHITA BAND INSTRUMENT COMPANY2525 East Douglas AvenueWichita, KS 67211Tel: (316) 684-XXXX; FAX (316) 684-XXXX *** BEFORE WE SEND ANYTHING TO YOU... The instrument is carefully inspected by us to make certain it's spotlessly clean. We disinfect the exterior of the instrument, spray the exterior of the case as well. We do not send anything to you without it's being checked and then checked again. *** A FEW WORDS ABOUT OUR SENDING "ON APPROVAL"... We've had the same policy for half a century, are always happy to send almost anything for a short trial period. Five days is, we believe, sufficient for a trained musician to decide if the item sent them is a good match. A small percentage of instrument we send out are returned to us. Sometimes it's a money issue, more often it's "...you might consider taking lessons." But as we always say, "If you don't buy, we'll still be friends. " We've had recent questions, though, about how we clean up returned approvals. You should know... With recorders, clarinets, flutes, and oboes, we remove all the keywork, then give the bodies a quick bath. Soap and water, but not long enough to harm the finish. Keys are lightly sprayed with a disinfectant and pads are lightly swabbed with the same. Then, back in the case after a spray to the exterior and carrying handles of the case. Not sure what the other shops are doing about this issue (I've asked and have had no replies), but we think our clean-up work is exactly what's required to keep everybody safe.*** USED MINT OPEN BOX DI ZHAO DZ 700 BOF FLUTE, SOLID STERLING SILVER HEAD, BODY & FOOT, POINTED KEY ARMS, OFFSET G, LOW B.The flute is perfect but has been demoed a few times in the store, in stock in Wichita, ready to ship today!The DZ 700 series is the most advanced Di Zhao intermediate level flute.

We've been in business since 1953 and have had the same owner since 1963. Originally we were a repair shop that specialized in woodwind and sax restoration. Today we have 18 employees including eight of the finest repair technicians in the country. Virtually ALL the items we sell have been fully reconditioned in our own shop, although we do sell a few unrestored historical instruments each year. Due to the heavy demand for our services, we do no school repairs, and very few "walk-in" repairs. It's sometimes possible to buy a vintage flute on Ebay for a lower price, but unless that instrument wears all new pads and corks from a reputable shop, you won't know how it plays until you spend another several hundred to have it mechanically overhauled. With a used flute from OUR shop, you know it's in the finest condition when it arrives at your home! Here's what we do to all used flutes we sell:The instrument is taken apart and everything washed clean. Dings are next burnished from body, head and foot. After the body-shop work's been completed, we swedge hinge-tubes tight again and re-fit them to the flute body. Finally, pads and corks are replaced and the instrument play-tested. Pre 1950 French flutes often require more than twice the restoration time that we need for a modern Haynes or Powell. We use thin double-skin pads of the highest quality and shim each pad in the manner of the best Boston makers. We don't "float" flute pads with shellac, as did the original Paris workshops.Wichita Band's service warranty is the same as it's been for more than thirty years: "ALL new and all used instruments sold by Wichita Band Instrument Company come with our 24 month service warranty. It's in addition to any factory guarantees. For two full years, we will repair or replace, whichever in our estimation is the more advisable, pads, corks, springs or other parts required, at no charge to the customer. The customer is responsible for shipping and insurance charges. Cases and plating finishes are not covered by our service warranty but are sometimes covered by factory guarantees." Wichita Band Instrument Company maintains a repair department capable of restoration work of the highest quality. Even though repairs are essentially "free" for the first two years, after that period has expired, we remain at your service to maintain and repair your musical equipment forever. It's our "service after the sale" promise and has been since 1953! In the event that a customer requires service under factory guarantees or Wichita Band's service warranty, the item must be returned to us and not directly to the manufacturer. Anything we sell can be sent to you for a short approval period without obligation. The customer is responsible for shipping and insurance and must pre-pay back to us any freight and insurance charges on returned equipment. International shipping is available. Returned items will be refunded within 2 weeks of receiving the item. We're happy to send any instrument "on approval" for five days, but ask the prospective buyer to pay shipping both ways.Ebay authorized payment methods: PayPal or credit/debit card processed through our internet merchant account.Buyers outside of the USA are responsible for all import duties and customs clearance charges in their respective countries. We may refuse paypal and/or credit card payments from some countries.We're happy to respond to any and all questions about flutes and other musical instruments, but please don't write and ask "What's granny's mellophone worth?". Do an Ebay search and you'll learn more than we'll be able to tell you.Wichita Band Instrument Co. 800-835-XXXX payment line (USA and Canada),316-684-XXXX outside the USA and Canada order line, and info line,
