It is a Prima Sankyo. 9K with silver keys and a 10K head joint (a replacement of the original). I bought it used from a good friend for about $10,000, more than 20 years ago. They don't make the 9K flutes anymore, so a new, roughly equivalent 10K Sankyo flute would cost about $23,600 today.
Brava! Sounds like a lot of fun!
Thank you! It really was so much fun.
What brand is your gold flute and how many carats is it and how much did it cost
