![]() Sorry for the long post, I'm just wondering if anyone else is familiar with the Armstron Model 305B LTD. Coy place made United States: Indiana, Elkhart Physical Description silver (overall material) Measurements overall: 26 1/4 in x 2 in x 1 3/4 in 66.675 cm x 5.08 cm x 4.445 cm ID Number 1985.0016. Location Currently not on view Object Name flute Date made 1972 maker Armstrong, W. The person I talked to at the factory knew nothing of the LTD version, which I find rather curious. This flute is engraved: Armstrong ELKHART. Although the instrument showed up in Conn-Selmer's database as a model 305B, this instrument seems to have all the features of a 305B except the barrel is engraved "LDT" and the flute has a gold-plated lip plate and crown. I've never seen, or heard mention of, a 305B LTD before. ![]() The person I talked to said all she could tell me is that it showed up as a model 305B, and that it was sold by Armstrong to a dealer in March of 2000. After reading the posts in this thread I decided to call Conn-Selmer to see what I could find out. I have often wondered just how old the instrument is, since a dealer inventory tag had the appearance of being quite aged (well yellowed and dirty). ![]() I purchased it from a dealer, supposedly new, in December of 2005. I have an Armstrong 305B LTD, the serial number is 7116937.
