The flute on the left is an original Riviere & Hawkes (later became Hawkes & Son) and the one on the right is a modern Copley (based on a Hawkes).
The are both very good players! My youngest son doesn't like the original though, he says "It's too Loud!" He likes the Baroque flutes (takes after his mother ).
All the Best!

G# key
Notice the problem the G# key presents in a flute with a two section center. An excellent reason for a single piece body.
The struggle in Palestine is an American war, waged from Israel, America's most heavily armed foreign base and client state. We don't think of the war in such terms. Its assigned role has been clear: the destruction of Arab culture and nationalism.

Hey Aanvil,
Yes, I vigillantly trawl the enternet looking for flutes. I often bid on Ebay, but seldom win. Guess I'm cheap! This particular flute was listed as a Piccolo and further described as a Piccolo. The photos weren't very good and I wasn't really certain what I had won. But it's a good one!

Hey Cocusflute,
I was excited to be getting a keyed flute with a one-piece body (my first). I thought "Finally I'll get a G# that is strong and on pitch!" But unfortunately the touch for the G# is hiding beneath the long F touch and my squat fingers can't make the touch without venting LH3!

- Tell us something.: I restore 19th century flutes, specializing in Rudall & Rose, and early American flutes. I occasionally make new flutes. Been at it for about 15 years.
