Hello everyone, I received a Rudall Carte 580mm flute, serial number 6153. It is in good condition, but requires a full service.
I'm selling because I don't need it. Ready to consider proposals. I can send photos by email upon request.

Tema sent me the images. It's a wooden Boehm style flute, ie tapered head, cylindrical body, Boehm flute fingering. Nickel Silver (German Silver) keywork from what I can see.
Comes with the original cleaning stick and cork grease pot, in the original case labelled with the 23 Berners St London address. The serial number suggest it was made in 1921.
You can see inside the workshop where it was made at: https://www.mcgee-flutes.com/RC_Wshop1922.htm
