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.

This is a flute that would benefit by having a Patent head...

"economy hitting home perhaps?" David.

No, she's finally got her keyless Olwell Pratten and doesn't need all that old timber - less is more :thumbsup:

hmmm. Now THAT's an endorsement of Patrick's work!
but glad to hear it's a good reason for selling and not the economy.

i have my own Olwell that appeared after a long wait....yet I still have my enamored sense toward my Rudalls. I wonder if I'd part with them? Sigh. :puppyeyes:

Oh my. £2.5k. VERY hard to believe. Pinching myself. HARD.

BTW, David, I don't think Steampacket knows anything the rest of us don't about this/the vendor....

Speaking of which, #859, this one with the ornate keywork, is back on ebay too:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RUDALL-ROSE-W ... 0694376905

It sold last May 18th for 6433 pounds, over $10,500. at the time. Perhaps the buyer didn't come through?

It's the buyer who's selling (see discussion here)!

OK, I 'fess up. (Now it's actually in my hands). My covetousness got the better of me, with a bit of (interest) added impetus from a generously supportive friend! It's mine now, probably an exceptional opportunity that wasn't to be sniffed at (especially at the actual price!!! - I'm still in shock....), and I don't regret it at all! It needs some TLC to be its best and do all it should be capable of, but it's rather glorious even as-is. Short video clip here, as received photos to follow.

Tell us something.: in two words, Rudall & Rose. but since a minimum of 100 characters is required, I should list a number of makers I found extremely interesting… I don't even know how much are 100 characters...
