Thanks Matt. R&R 821 is in the register now. The Stockholm pub sessions are very central, in the "Old town" Gamla stan, part of Stockholm. Henrik Norbeck is usually at the Wirströms' session on Wednesdays 7 pm.

I asked the seller if the flute was stamped Rudall & Rose, No. 15 Piazza St., Covent Garden, London earlier today. Just got a reply that that is the address on the flute, and the other parts of the flute are also stamped.

Rudall & Rose 1305 sold for £746 + postage. Someone could have a very good flute at a very decent price when the crack is repaired, a new block and key, and crown are added

I accidentally posted this in the wrong thread earlier.....

The OP eBay flute fetched a mere £746, despite having 12 bidders. Actually, given what it requires to restore it and the current market, that's not a wild surprise, but yet again it's way below what it could confidently have been expected to pull not very many years ago. It's a good time to buy 'em. I wasn't in for it, BTW. Anyone here get it?
