A few years ago, several of us noted an excellent audio recording by flutist Peter H. Bloom, demonstrating a five-key flute in crystal glass and silver by Claude Laurent (1837), one of many fine instruments in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. The Museum recently posted a new video of Peter performing on the Laurent flute, which gives further insight into this remarkable instrument.

- Tell us something.: I am the director of Americas Musicworks, and I am the manager for concert flutist Peter H. Bloom and his ensembles. I found your post about his recording of the Laurent crystal flute at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and wanted to post an update (a new video).
