Used flutes in Udaipur typically sell for ₹1,150 to ₹9,000 (about $12 to $94). Flutes sell on whether the pads still seal, so test every key by covering the holes and feeling for suction — leaking pads are what make a cheap flute unplayable.
Selling a flute in Udaipur
Hotels and guesthouses replace furnishings on a commercial cycle here far more than in ordinary cities, and the wedding trade means occasion clothing is bought, worn once and sold on in genuine volume.
The old city around the lakes is narrow and largely unsuitable for vehicles, so agree a landmark outside it for anything large. The newer parts of the city are straightforward to drive in.
On occasion clothing, ask how many times it has actually been worn. A great deal here is worn once for a wedding and is genuinely as-new, but the answer is what separates that from a hire-trade piece.
Udaipur, in Rajasthan, has around 460,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Jaipur, Jodhpur and Kota are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Brand, keys and material: “Yamaha YFL-212 Flute, Closed Hole, Silver Plated, Case Included”. Open versus closed hole is a real filter, since students need closed and advancing players want open. Say whether the head joint is solid silver, which is a genuine price factor.
