Thanks, could well be Mathieu.
His trade mark looks similar.

I recently got an old wooden flageolet, the English type, 7 open holes and 6 new silver keys, and an Ivory beak. The wood is probably palissander. No makers name, but the following tekst Marque Fabrique Trade, and a picture of a Lyre (or Harp). I am trying to determine approximate date and maker. I ...

OK, Thanks!

What is the relation between the question about the type of wood and your contribution?

It sometimes happens to me that I sightly hit the short F key with RH4 and a leak develops there.

Why not a take piece of cork of the right diameter of a wine bottle, dril a hole in it and place it between the disc and the wooden end cap?

Beautiful flute.
As far as the wood is concerned, difficult tu judge from the pictures, but I would say grenadilla.

That is answered quickly
Thank you both.

I once copied a picture of a wooden flute in its case.
Apart from the flute itself I can see something sitting in the case that looks like a small gold colored ring.
I just wonder what is the use of such a ring?

Nameless 9-keyed, simple system, conical bore, blackwood flute in C

Thank you !
A bit difficult to reach for me if I want to keep my pinky on the Es key at the same time, but it works.

I always wonder what the use is of the long RH1 key that controls a hole close to the head joint of my 10-key simple system flute.
Does anyone ever use it?
