    I am trying to find info on a flute I own
    I have a flute, all silver, with Philharmonics as the brand name on the neck of the flute. Under the Philharmonics the number is E63896.

    It is approximately 22 years old in mint condition. Does anyone know how I can find information and approximately how much I can sell it for (used)?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Cheers!

    I'm finding very little on the maker. My question is whether an instrument which is 22 years old is in mint condition for PLAYING.

    You need to go to a music store/repair shop near you and ask what the market is for this make, model, now.

    I have searched for some time and what I have not found is as important as what I have.

    It does not appear to be any "name" or major brand. It was not listed as any collectible or flute of value.

    Most flutes were made and sold as instruments for Jr High or High school students. Many from 40 to 20 year ago were cheaper imports from China or other areas.

    The value would be low merely as a used flute for someone to buy, depending on condition about 1/2 to 1/4 of the value of a new non name brand instrument.

    The condition of the felts will be important as would any issues with discolor and the such.
