Is there a photo anywhere of a (keyed) Lehart flute anywhere in this great long thread - or is anyone going to post one here?

Hi folks,
I just got this today, 10 months to the day from the date my order was confirmed. I can't really say much about it regarding playability yet due to inexperience with flutes in general and this flute in particular. Here's a pic anyhow. It's by George Ormiston, www.ormistonflutes.fsnet.co.uk he lists it as a Keyless in "C" as it has the extended foot and would play down to "C" if it was fully keyed, (8 keys)

Cheers, Mac

Hey Richard - what kind of flute is that? My flute identification skills are getting rusty. It's beautiful!
Best,
Chris

Thanks Guys

Chris, it's by George Ormiston, Scotland. African Blackwood, Sterling Silver (Hallmarked in Edinburgh) and its number 516.

Cheers, Mac

It has arrived....... Grinter, blackwood, eight-key, acanthus leaf model.... two and a half years, lots of hard work, sold instruments, dangerous voyage.... it's here.

The flute in it's box.

Another shot of the flute in it's box.

Thanx, BillG

Finally getting around to posting:

top to bottom:

Olwell bamboo, Casey Burns blackwood, Bleazey boxwood, antique English boxwood 4-key, antique Mollenhauer 6-key (I think that’s boxwood, anyone have an opinion on that?), Thin Weasel cocobolo, Dixon three-piece polymer, and two antique piccolos (the one with the ivory head is a really sweet player when working properly). Somehow our Nach Meyer 6-key flute is missing from this pic.

That Grinter is a beauty...a real heirloom-type deal. Take care of it well and enjoy it a long, long time.
