Warning on factory sealed boxes..... just because it is factory sealed doesnt mean that it is in perfect condition. Often times, the flute/ picc must be set up after they are recieved [ pads will become unseated/unlevel in shipping/because of various causes]. So, there may be some damage to the picc, or that some things need to be fixed.

Very true. That is a risk I take buying sight-unseen...but the price is low enough so that if pads need to be reseated or something else like that, it still will be cheaper than buying new here...I think. Thanks for the warning.

not a problem. I was in a similiar situation several months ago when I purchased my Yamaha YPC 62. The dealer I bought it from took it out of the box for me, and set it up properly before it was sent. Lucky me, it didnt need anything.
