People who play musical instruments and not guitar: would you recommend buying an instrument some kid used in band and their parents are selling in the local classifieds? What risks are there involved, given the reduced price at which they are sold?
There's a ton of potential risks:
-Item wasn't cleaned (you can get respiratory diseases off winds and shit, and if they've never cleaned it at all, having it sent somewhere to be thoroughly disinfected is going to cost a fair amount).
-Brand is misrepresented (accessory or replacement part is identified as the brand of the item, but it's really a lesser one).
-Mechanical damage exists but isn't immediately obvious.
Yadda yadda.
You buy something from amateurs, you have the possibility that they (in entirely good faith) have no idea what they're actually selling.

How much does disinfection of wind instruments normally cost? Considering even an Etude goes for $300 at the store I'm just weighing profit/loss.

Wind instruments aren't that difficult to clean if used.

Is this a joke image or something? Who would write about their daughter sucking dick

>Daughter is more concerned with the skin flute
Holy fucking kek.
But in all honesty OP, you should not buy the flute from them, it clearly shows that they dont know much about the intrument and its condition, i recommend you buying from someone who shows more knowledge on the product
