I bought one off ebay. Don't groan pleeeese! This one was worth it although it was sold as a flute or piccolo. It's dirty and the end pad needs replacing. As it happens, it turns out to be a 5key wooden flute, uncracked and when I gave it to a lad in our fife group to try, sounded pretty good. I note some of you use Almond oil for wood but I am severely NUT allergic and also allergic to Linseed oiland most cooking oils except Corn or Olive. What oil should I use on the wood? It's a very dark wood. Leather pads and metal keys I believe or they may be very tarnished silver. All the keys can be removed as they are screwed.
