Hey Everyone,

The great flute player from Detroit/Chicago, Sean Gavin, is selling one of his flutes. Its an eight-keyed silver and blackwood antique from the 1860's. Its nice and easy to play and would be good for someone looking to get a keyed flute without spending too much. Price is $2500 OBO. You can contact him at seangavinmusic@gmail.com

Welcome to the forums, newazagod! Nice sounding old flute your brother has there. Do you play yourself?

Any maker's mark?

I thought Pat D'Arcy had posted it here, but I guess not. At any rate both those links will get you direct to Sean.

I haven't played the flute since it was fixed up, but have heard it in person, and it is indeed a nice flute. I don't believe there is any maker's mark on it.
