...I just thought yous would enjoy the display of absolutely superb workmanship. The flute is brilliant on every front. It plays loud, quietly, and anything inbetween. The "leaf-less" sprung keys are great looking and every key is set to the perfect touch. I suppose 30+ years of flute making might do that to a fellow! Take note of the key configuration which is set up for a "piper's grip." I have a sister one coming in Eb shortly and I'll be sure to post those snaps as well.
Enjoy!

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.

Nice and original! I like it. Pretty cocus too!
Here is a older version...

Tell us something.: I'm a traveling man, made a lot of stops. All over this world. And in every port, I own the heart of a cute little girl. Woah, I'm a travel'n man. Yes, I'm a travel'n maa-an. Woah, I'm a travel'n man.
Wow - nice cannon! It looks huge in the pix & really pretty keywork. If you post some audio clips I'll certainly give a listen. Congratulations & enjoy!
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

No, no, no. Cocus, as in the thread title. It just may look a bit fresh right now (so do his blackwood flutes), but bound to turn dark soon enough.

I suspect it will be about 50 years...
