I'm selling my Tony Millyard Keyless Blackwood Pratten. I have too many flutes and have found that the music I like playing is done the easiest on keyed flutes. If I were only playing ITM then I would be keeping this one.This flute is in excellent condition. No cracks. It has been oiled regularly and played lightly. It has been kept in a humidity controlled environment.
This is how Tony describes his pratten model:
The Pratten flute has a larger bore than many simple system flutes and accordingly makes a big sound. A great flute for sessions as this flute can be played loud if you want to. It will play with a softer and sweeter tone if required, but has the head room if you are prepared to push more air across the embouchure hole.
Here is a link to Matt Dean playing one of Tony's Pratten models for you to see how it can sound:

I paid right at $700 for it new in 2021 and I'm asking $575 for it shipped to lower 48 US.

Re: FS: Tony Millyard Keyless Blackwood Pratten
This is a beautiful sounding flute that looks almost new and that needs a new home. The picture posted of it is from my phone and it makes the rings look white but they are silver-nickel rings. I'll try to get my good camera out and take a better photo. If you think $550 is too high then make me an offer.
