Re: Rudall & Rose eight-key flute in G&H auction
It looks very beautiful and like it's in excellent shape.
This is a patent head 8-key flute with relatively large holes (Rudall-large, not Pratten-large). It has "claws" on the C/C# keys, and a pewter Eb key.
Remember that Houlgate has fees and buyer's premium that add up to 20% or so.
