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.

Just to say that the serial number of this flute according to G&H is 4417. There are repaired cracks in the head joint, barrel and three of the key blocks have been repaired.
