Large-holed Rudall and Rose 2883 in beautiful fine-grained, matched cocus, with 8 sterling keys. All 3 foot joint keys have pewter plugs. Top joint marked No 15, Piazza, Covent Garden, London, and all other joints marked “Rudall and Rose, London”. The head joint has a repaired crack (once in the distant past by pinning, and more recently by Jon Cornia).
This flute was described by Jon C in this thread (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=88481) as one of the magic RR flutes. This is an exceptional flute for its ease of playing, responsiveness and quality of its workmanship. The keys are set up with a light and even touch, tenons are corked. I have adjusted the tuning of the A and B with shellac. I have an original case, and will ship in a Pelican case.
$3000 USD or best offer for the R+R, $4500 with Olwell head joint and barrel. The Olwell head fits the flute perfectly, improves tuning, and has a great sound, but cocus is browner/less red than the original. If you want to buy the Olwell head and barrel separately, it is $1700 or best offer. I will ship either of both from US if requested.
Photos on request by email.
I am retiring and downsizing, and these must go, so try your offers.

- Tell us something.: Pipes have become my main instrument, but I still play the flute. I have emerged from the "instrument acquisition" phase, and am now down to one full set of pipes (Gordon Galloway), and one flute (Hudson Siccama).

Both the R+R and the Olwell head joint are now sold
I thought I had no talent, but my talent is to persist anyway.
