The flute is of Ebonite (hard rubber) with sterling silver mechanism/fittings, has plain platter keys (so mis-called "closed hole"), offset G, closed G#, C foot, Rockstro F# key, etc. It is in beautiful, fully overhauled and ready to play condition. The head-joint is thinned and unlined. The entirely hand-made flute was originally built for modern pitch A440. It has not been altered or suffered any damage apart from very minor scuffs. There are no signs of serious wear. It has a sounding length (embouchure hole centre to foot end) of 600mm.
