I had a Thomas Croger 8 key flute for years. Not a bad player too. No idea who really made it but a kind of "nach Metzler" flute.

I remember that set coming up for sale about 12 years ago or so.
I was an interesting set. Only 3 keys on the bass and baritone, 4 on the tenor so the ACA notes weren't there.

I believe he is playing a Quinn and Koehler set for a good few years now.

The old Crowley set has been sitting under his bed for years.
I guess Paddy thinks they need a new home.
