Worth every penny I'm sure.

That does seem like quite a lot for it being un-serialized.

Did we get any good ideas as to why is it so?

I guess everyone seems to agree that is really a RRC?

I think, but am by no means certain, that it was Mr R&R himself who snapped this one, our own DM. I hope it was and that he will give us a full run down on it (e.g. why no serial no. etc.) and maybe even a sound sample once it arrives and is made playable if that is necessary. David?
I respect people's privilege to hold their beliefs, whatever those may be (within reason), but respect the beliefs themselves? You gotta be kidding!

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.

When the dust settles it may be revealed who has the flute... (not me :sniffle: )
