Boxwood Whitaker flute i G&H auction

Post by Steampacket »

There's a nice 8 key boxwood and ivory Whitaker flute in the coming G&H auction, Sept. 15th. I believe from looking at the stamp that it is a H. Whitaker. A head joint crack seems to be stabilised with a brass ring, and there is something odd going on with the crown. A "condition report" could be enlightening. An 8 key boxwood & ivory Bilton flute missing C# & C keys is also in this auction
Lot 806 and Lot 807
