I put the Pfaff on eBay, and was playing it, the ivory head cracked again!
So now it has a nice unlined cocuswood head and barrel, problem solved!
I love the design of the barrel, it really ties it into the rest of the flute.
Here is the before…
This flute is one of the best American flutes I have played, maybe the new cocus head helps some…
Man, that’s pretty…
Best wishes.
Steve
You’ve got pretty good at making those heads.
Oh boy, giving me the puppy dog eyes! that is a low blow… It is the metal work that holds me up!
I’m just joshing you. Happy New Year my friend!
I am selling the Pfaff flute once more, to finance my Rudall & Rose.

The flute is now ivory free, so can be shipped internationally!
Great flute!
Jon ~ will you take two old Boxwood flutes for it?

I know how you feel, I have twenty like them in my shop…
