The seller honestly reports "I don't know how it works."

- Tell us something.: i have an unhealthy obsession with flutes and thought i should try to find some other people to share my problems with! (i play a TJ Boehm-system flute and an M&E 6-key simple system flute i've just acquired, hence the interest in C&F.)
Re: E-bay flute...
perfect timing - i was just looking for a new flute for my friend who has three hands and no mouth.

Re: E-bay flute...
I purchased a mismatched Rudall Carte on Ebay years ago that was sent on to Terry McGee for repair and later to Jon Cornia for reversable re-tuning (he uses wax in the holes). Terry pronounced it a "good player" and Jon's work made it easier. I remember it was put together in a rather strange way that made little sense. But at least the parts were all there. I can't remember if I was the only bidder...

Re: E-bay flute...
Was that one of those strange flutes where the tenon is on the lower end of the barrel, and the socket on the top end of the LH section, busterbill? Or was it even weirder than that?
Monzani was fond of that approach, but I'm not sure why. Here's an example:

Re: E-bay flute...
It is a lovely large holed typically put together Ruddall Carte, but the person who listed it had put it together strangely for the picture. I think they stuck the barrel on somewhere near the end with the metal liner being the end of the flute, put the head joint right on the body loosely and couldn't figure out where the foot went. My memory is hazy. It may have been pictured in two pieces, but it did take some imagination to put it together that way.

Hi Terry,
The barrel arrangement on the Monzani (I’ve seen it on a Rudall as well and other flutes)
is to accommodate the trill key maybe?

Here are a couple shots of Rudalls with that arrangement

Re: E-bay flute...
Nice one! That is possible, but the trill will fit on a conventional flute with a normal barrel, won't it?dunnp wrote:Here are a couple shots of Rudalls with that arrangement

Re: E-bay flute...
Here’s a Monzani on eBay (similar to mine Jon)
that has this style of head and barrel but without the trill key.
