Hawkes E flat Excelsior Flute - For Sale.

Post by curlew »

Hi All, I am selling my Hawkes E flat Excelsior flute which I have had for nearly 40 years. The woodwork is great, but is missing the lower keys which would have been bohem style. The top 4 keys are present and need pads and probably resprung. Is in its original case. The instrument plays brilliantly as you would expect of a flute of this class. PM me for images if you are interested, as I'm not sure how to post them. No idea of value, open to offers when viewed. Thanks.

Hi All, just to clarify, the flute is simple system, only the bottom section had bohem style keys.
