FS Henry Fentum 8 key Flute
Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2019 7:54 pm
Lovely Flute in Cocus wood and silver I believe.
8 fully functioning keys that all work fantastically.
Plays at modern concert pitch and is an all round lovely flute.
Chris Wilkes overhauled it a few years back and commented "without doubt one if the best Fentums you will ever come across."
Jon Cornia recently gave it a full service and re-socketed the joint between the head and the body of the flute as there was a couple of older cracks in this section, this section is now rock solid.
The head had a small very old crack (on the opposite side to the embouchure) Jon also reviewed and tidied this up and it is like new.
He said the flute was likely made by Wylde who was a supplier for Ruddall and Rose.
Fully functioning and an absolute dream to play.
I am a piper and thought i would have time to take up the flute but with a growing family this is not the case.
Reluctant sale.
1800 Euros + shipping
