Hello Jeggy, and welcome to the group. The PM button is located at the bottom of a member's comment, to the right of the profile button.
I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the flute. What exactly would you like to know?
Kind Regards, Uni Flute.
Yes, I'm still in the 'wait and see' period. Hopefully I'll be bona fide soon!
Assuming it's ok to discuss this here, I suppose my questions are as follows:
> Is there a defined pattern? Pratten, R&R, nicholson etc? This is a largely contemporary maker so not sure what this resembles. Does it take after anything? My Olwell is a Nicholson and looking probably for something similar to a rudall ideally - something maybe more efficient on air and smaller holes.
> The crack - I don't have any experience with cracks but from what I understand, repairing and stabilising them these days is less of an issue than 20 years ago.When was it repaired? Any issues since being repaired?
> Having played it yourself, what's your favourite thing/ characteristic about this flute?
Personally, I think it's amazing that a flute like yours, and many others from the period, are still around, being played and treasured. Such a wonderful legacy.
