Some more eye candy:
A c. 1816 boxwood Monzani 9-key in boxwood. It would play as good as it looks if I could play it that good. Actually, it's for my wife, but I gave it a good workout yesterday. It's absolutely fantastic.

Very nice flame figuring on that one Charlie.
Interesting repair to the RH section - a new socket was fashioned, lI'd guess it to be a blind sleeve. From what's visible in the photo, it appears the repair also included a new long F block, is this so? Any idea who did the work? Shame they didn't make a stab at matching up the replacement wood with something similarly figured, but from here it looks like a good repair job.

P.S. I assume that LH socket crack has been glued?

Oh, man, the amount of work that was done on this one. . . the cracks have been pinned and glued. The long-F block was replaced, along with an inch or so of the body most of the way 'round, there's even a bushing in the embouchure hole of the other headjoint, same color as the F repair. Some of the repairs are ingenious, but none of them are pretty -- that's part of why I shot it from the back rather than showing the keys, cracks, etc. The repairs were done before anyone knows. As the previous owner told me (and as was said to him before), this has been a working flute for its life, not a collector's item. That's a pretty good indication of how it plays.
