Could be a fantastic deal on a keyed flute.

Bump.

In fact the tenon rings and socket linings are original.....this was a cut above average german flute before I worked on it.
All the Best

I've one almost identical in that respect, looks very similar but mine also has the silver band over the embouchure, also re-worked by someone in the past for the same reasons (but probably not as effectively!). It's ended up pretty much in tune although the scale is a bit 'stretched' at 440 (it might have once been high pitched). All in all, very playable, although the brass tuning slide could do with a little stretching for a snugger fit. I'm not sure I'd have risked the kind of money this one went for on Ebay though.

How much did it go for Mark?

I used to own one also, but I never had it worked on and it was a bit off everyone told me when I played at sessions.

Glad to see you are still working your magic over here Jon. I'm still playing that old pretty good German flute that you re-reemed for me years ago making it a superb pretty good old German flute.
Did I say that right??? :boggle:

Take care;
