Rudall & Rose no. 1443 is for sale on E-bay. This flute was sold at auction in February, 2018, and is now on offer for £1600. Same condition as when it was sold in February as regards cracks, missing touch etc.

Isn't this the flute that sold for a hammer price of £720.00 plus VAT. at an English auction recently? Missing C# lever and disparate/replacement Eb saltspoon key. Also, some of the blocks are lined. Possible crack repair to the back of the headjoint. The long F block has been repaired by pinning/nailing. Otherwise, condition appears unchanged since previous sale.

Yes the same flute. It's in the register with updated info that it's for sale again. I think it's the seller/dealer, that Jem has mentioned before, who buys at auctions then puts on E-Bay to make a profit.
