It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down.

Re: Help with old flute from ebay
Sorry these images seem to be difficult to see, but I can't find a way of making them show in the actual post. The image URL does not appear in the google drive.
I have now removed the keys and sealed the joints, tone holes and cracks. It will play down to a fairly weak and out of tune D.
Will definitely get it restored I think.

Re: Help with old flute from ebay
Sorry, missed that part. Send me a PM and let's have a look at it. I've one a bit like it, plays well, and I've another that needs fixing.I should have thought to put my location. I'm in Leeds, U.K.
I'm out of the country for a few days, might be around at the weekend, or come down to the Wednesday night session at the Chemic next week and say hello.

Get a good hot soldering iron and carefully heat up all the grommets, they are held on with shellac and probably leaking...

Re: Help with old flute from ebay
Had a look at the flute this eveving Jem, would be an easy fixer up for you, will sound fine, mostly new pad and a crack in the head that isn't affecting the playing. Also a loose block. Seems to have a replacement Bb key on it. Suggested you give it a go anyway.
