Sorry about the period after the address. Old habits are hard to break…

Seeing the similarities in the headjoint on Ojvoj’s Murray encouraged me to stick this link in for anyone who is interested. This is my Clementi & Co, C Nicholson’s Improved - made by Thomas Prowse. It was refurbished and given a new headjoint by Chris Wilkes prior to my owning it. The Long F nat key has been removed and the hole, as well as the location of the block mount, very well concealed.

Hi Folks,
I saw this flute today at a Folk Museum, it was listed as a 1 keyed concert flute by John Dollard, Essex Quay, Dublin c 1825, in Boxwood and Ivory. Does anyone know more about this maker. Sorry about the picture quality.
Cheers, Mac
:roll:
Is there a photo anywhere of a (keyed) Lehart flute anywhere in this great long thread - or is anyone going to post one here?
Cariad
Hi Cariad,
you might see a pic of a 4 keyed Le Hart here,

Hi folks,
I just got this today, 10 months to the day from the date my order was confirmed. I can’t really say much about it regarding playability yet due to inexperience with flutes in general and this flute in particular. Here’s a pic anyhow. It’s by George Ormiston, www.ormistonflutes.fsnet.co.uk he lists it as a Keyless in “C” as it has the extended foot and would play down to “C” if it was fully keyed, (8 keys)
Cheers, Mac
Hi Richard,
That’s REAL flute porn -WOW! (drool drool!).
Please check your e-mails.
Hey Richard - what kind of flute is that? My flute identification skills are getting rusty. It’s beautiful!
Best,
Chris
Thanks Guys
Chris, it’s by George Ormiston, Scotland. African Blackwood, Sterling Silver (Hallmarked in Edinburgh) and its number 516.
Cheers, Mac
It has arrived… Grinter, blackwood, eight-key, acanthus leaf model… two and a half years, lots of hard work, sold instruments, dangerous voyage… it’s here.
The flute in it’s box.
Another shot of the flute in it’s box.
Three pictures of the entire flute.

Right hand.
The C foot.
Sorry, I see these pictures turned out much bigger than planned.
Best,
Chris
Chris,
Unbelievable,
Cheers, Mac
Mac - give us a run down on the Ormiston when you get your lips onto it.
Thanx, BillG
Man, I’m speechless. Must place order now!
e.
Kinky, very kinky.
Evil !
Finally getting around to posting:
top to bottom:
Olwell bamboo, Casey Burns blackwood, Bleazey boxwood, antique English boxwood 4-key, antique Mollenhauer 6-key (I think that’s boxwood, anyone have an opinion on that?), Thin Weasel cocobolo, Dixon three-piece polymer, and two antique piccolos (the one with the ivory head is a really sweet player when working properly). Somehow our Nach Meyer 6-key flute is missing from this pic.
Very nice.
That Grinter is a beauty…a real heirloom-type deal. Take care of it well and enjoy it a long, long time.
