That's some 7920/day of 12 hours of work (China...) including 1 hour maintenance, which gives, by let's say 300 days a year, 2,376,000 flutes (there are hours of hand work besides to burnish and glue the flutes). Knowing that the Schwan is sold *only* in Europe... 2 millions a year should be enough, no?

It is barely visible, depending on the colors, sometimes only by transparency to strong light. But it is so visible on those 2 samples that it is obvious. And you can see that it goes down to the lip rest!
