Flute cloth cases/rolls recommendations

Post by tradlad123 »

Any recommendations for where to procure simple (and not too expensive) padded rolls to keep keyless flutes in (with 3 or 4 sections)?
thanks!

Anyone who may still have stock of Canzonet or Cavallaro flute & recorder rolls. You'll need to verify businesses have survived this year. Try various early music shops.

Mollenhauer also used to have some (I think no longer made) but some online shops show remaining stock.

Occasionally, you see a bag/roll on eBay, such as:

Hobgoblin is offering these:

And from the USA shop at $8+ https://www.hobgoblin-usa.com/local/sal ... flute-bag/

Some ETSY vendors can tailor their bags for flute sections. For example:

A non-profit 501c3 charity/educational public benefit corporation
Wooden Flute Obsession CDs (3 volumes, 6 discs, 7 hours, 120 players/tracks)

The Vonheunes may seem pricey but they have a good polar fleece inside which gives you some padding for bumps and such, and the illusion that they would help dissipate moisture. I have a three slot for an alto recorder I used with a Rudall style flute. A pratten may require something a tiny bit longer. The zippers were of good quality when I purchased mine 6 years ago.

If you have a delrin flute that is not too expensive the cheaper non lined ones would llkely be fine, but I'd spend a bit more for a wooden flute.
