Tell us something.: in two words, Rudall & Rose. but since a minimum of 100 characters is required, I should list a number of makers I found extremely interesting… I don't even know how much are 100 characters...

A loved flute on ebay

Post by radcliff »

I heard voices talk about old time, when you have no knowledge on flute repairing tecniques and find a new flute was almost impossible (no flute makers and no ebay).

This one looks to have received lot of attentions and extra cares:

Improved Patent, unmarked, but a very loved flute.

I do not know much about 19th century flutes, but do find it kind of funny to see one of an unknown flute maker's flutes described as being "extremely rare." But I am sure someone will have an educated guess and maybe it is.

I love the "claw keys"! That is indeed rare!

Definately belonged to a "customizer" look at the homemade extra touch for the c key operated by the thumb.
How strange? and the added touches in the other keys.

Unless it has blue tape and hose clamps I'm not interested.
