Hello,

Help Identifying Artley Flute Model And Value. - Fluteland ...

A flute that Verne Q. Powell made himself inthe 60's, or a vintage Haynes, or even an original Louis Lot can be a real treasure. Modern flutemaking and newer scale designs do make a difference, though. Also, many new techniques in headjoint making have been taken advantage of, and the newer flutes are usually easier to play well. Although Conn-Selmer no longer makes flutes under the Artley name, its flutes continue to be passed down to second- and third-generation musicians.

There is an Artley flute at an estate sale in my area. The serial number is 53613. The headjoint has silver stamped on it. Does anyone here know what model it is by looking at the pictures? Any idea what it might be worth? The lady had it for many years and even had new pads put on not too long ago. I stopped playing a year after high school and no longer have a flute, but would like to buy one and start playing again for fun. I tried to attach two pictures of the flute for consideration, but I can't figure out how. Maybe someone would help me to do that. Thank you.
