Realized I had not contributed my latest beauties to this thread
2 flutes by Solen Lesouef : keyless mopane and 6-key Blackwood with wide rings and both with mother of pearl inlayed crowns

Hi Stephen, I am the happy owner of a Lesouef keyless flute in Mopane (July 2020) and keyed blackwood (July 2022). These were my first brand new flutes in a long time, so I had almost forgot about the amount of oiling new flutes need... Solen shared her document for flute care when I got the mopane ...

I too own a mopane D flute by Solen Lesouef.

There is great joy in the feel, smell and process of playing in a brand new wooden flute for sure. I am now also reminded how lab...

Apologies for nitpicking, but the diaphragm actually contracts during inhalation : it is passive during exhalation. but where, pray, would the merriment of online forums be without the frequent picking of nits :...

Looking at Sweden based flute maker Tim Adam's flutes https://www.adams.se/flutemaker/ it looks like he made this type of modification part of his design. Not sure if this is the same or opposite, but when I received my Solen Lesouef flute last year I had a really hard time playing the bottom D in t...

also Francois Baubet (IRL) makes an excellent delrin flute that could match your checklist.
Played one for many years myself!
