Hammy Flute Dimensions

Post by mukade »

I was wondering if somebody would be kind enough to measure an unkeyed Hammy D flute (Length & Depth.)

I am looking around for a new case for my Hammy, but I am currently in hospital so I can't measure it myself.
I have a couple of case candidates but I need some measurements before I can proceed.

Headjoint w/barrel attached, closed position: 9.5 inches long
Main body joint: 12.75 inches long (includes tenons - not assembled size)
Foot joint: 5.44 inches long
Largest diameter, including ring (no blocks): 1.25 inches


Edited to make clear that tenon length (disassembled length) of main body joint was measured as it would appear when cased, not assembled.
