A couple of similar key systems on different flute types. Top one is a tapered bore body with strait head bottom one is cylindrical body with tapered (parabolic ?) head.
Bottom is a lovely deep rosewood colour, top is green, you can probably guess the material. I Think they were both made in France, by the curly G#, the bottom one is marked Lafleur & sons London, but I think this is probably the shop address, rather than maker, but it helps reinforce the French connection.

Pics of piccs - 5 Rudall Carte 6-key D piccolos. There's a link in the album info to a YT clip using 3 of them. There's basic info about the piccs too.

I hope it's not an insult to this topic where is many so beautiful (and expensive) flutes:

It is a copy of Doug Tipple's flute (based on his howto). Maybe not as good as original, but it is my first flute(s) and I'm not sure if I'm able to play on flute. So I did it as trial.

My new bamboo flute. I got it from e-bay, maybe someone will recognize the maker? It sounds pleasant, and I like it for practicing and learning how to play a transverse flute. My current experience is only with fipple flutes (whistles and sopilkas).

It's in minor scale, not like a tin whistle...

Are those two embouchure holes at the top?? Or is the one above the dragonfly just a decorative spot? Or maybe it's a dizi?

This flute was recently given to me. I don't see a stamp or maker's mark on it. Does anyone know what it is?

Here is a Photo of one of my G flutes made by Tony Millyard from Millyard-Molem. I find the Boxwood flute produces a much sweeter tone than the Blackwood version.
