On, an Artley Wilkins sold this month for $1200 USD. If your Artley Wilkins flute were restored to a good playing condition, I think it is probably worth a lot more than 300 euros. It actually was designed to be a direct competitor for Haynes, so it is NOT your typical student-level Artley. The quality was very good and was often considered to be on par with Haynes and Powell flutes of the same era. However, at the time, the Artley Wilkins was the top end flute made by Artley. He's right that you can buy a more modern flute that probably is easier to play in tune than than a lot of older "pro" flutes. I have a slightly different opinion than fluteguy. it's worth the 300 euros to get it in good working order. If it has sentimental value, then by all means. It would be silver plated, yes, but in terms of design and playability, it could quite possibly be a better deal. You could probably spend a little more money and get what is now labeled as a "student" flute, and it would probably be a considerable upgrade in terms of how it plays. it probably isn't worth much more than that. So, because of its age, the kind of flute that it is (the maker), and its state of repair. But, with modern advances in flute-making, many student model flutes play better than the professional high end flutes made 40 years ago. At the time it was better than student level. A solid silver "ebay-junk" flute that cost you $200 will not be nearly as good as a silver plated muramatsu that you bought used for $1000.Īnd for the time when it was made, you are right.
