Keyed Flutes SOLD - Rudall Rose/Pratten/Siccama
Keyed Flutes SOLD - Rudall Rose/Pratten/Siccama
I’m in the process of reducing my flute collection due to an upcoming wedding and have some high end 8/10 keyed flutes for sale. I’m considering putting them up on ebay in the next few days, so if there’s interest here, I’ll certainly consider a private party transaction before going the ebay route.
All these flutes are excellent players in A=440
Serious parties please pm me for detailed descriptions and we can go into more detail, including pictures, audio etc.
SOLD:Siccama #895 8 (10) keyed flute in absolute mint condition roughly made in 1851/52. Beautiful cocus wood with silver keys, plays strong in A440 down to the bottom C. $3.5K o.b.o.
SOLD:Rudall, Rose and Carte # 6069 gorgeous Cocus wood with custom lip plated Chris Wilkes head joint (also comes with original head joint uncracked.). This flute is an excellent player A 440, 8 keyed, plays strongly down to the low C. This flute was made around 1852. Asking US$4.2K o.b.o.
SOLD: Boosey Pratten Perfected #11081 made in ca. 1879, comes with a custom Chris Wilkes head joint with lip plate. Plays very strongly at A=440. Seamus Tansey played this flute last year and loved it. 8 keyed. Asking US$4K o.b.o.
UPDATE: Olwell no longer for sale: 4. Olwell 6 keyed flute Blackwood, superb condition. This flute was Aaron Olwell’s personal flute until recently. I’m only selling it because I just got my hand on an Olwell 6 key in cocus which I prefer. Asking US$6K o.b.o. Waiting list for a keyed Olwell is 6-7 years at the moment.
All of these flutes have been inspected and played by 2 top flute makers and references can be provided upon request.

Great flutes, everyone. I tried all of them a few weeks ago and they're everything you would hope for. 'Specially the Olwell. Sigh...

A bit superfluous, don't you think? Lots of flutes in the hands of collectors takes them out of the hands of players and drives up prices.Aanvil wrote:Let me edit your post.dpmccabe wrote:Why would someone need so many keyed D flutes?

Superfluous?
Nice.
I'm no Flute-Marxist and I won't be the one to tell anyone they have more than they need.
Had I the means I'd take them all off of his hand with little quible over the price.
You can buy them yourself so I can't think he can be accused of hoarding.
Old master flutes moving up in price will only secure their survival to future generations.
Beside you can get a perfectly good (if not better) modern copies made right now.
Look how much the Olwell is going for... now thats crazy.

- Tell us something.: I restore 19th century flutes, specializing in Rudall & Rose, and early American flutes. I occasionally make new flutes. Been at it for about 15 years.

I happen to have heard Sven play, and I would say that it is reasonable for him to own some nice flutes.dpmccabe wrote:A bit superfluous, don't you think?

Sven is offering to sell these, it seems an odd place to beat on him for obtaining them in the first place.
Personally I'd like to see pictures of she what is getting him to part with these!
Congratulations Sven,
Denny
