Gee, that's pretty.
I wonder if it has internal tuning issues--
I think lots of RRs of the day did.

Nice.

Is it just me or does it look a little Banana-esque? Could be the photos.

Hi Ben!

So, when you get the flute, bring it on over for inspection

I saw this too and the first thought that came to me was "reproduction". Haven't I read somewhere that R&Rs with fake certificates are becoming a real problem? The part about appearing it having never been played professionally and few nicks or normal signs of age started me wondering.

It does look extremely nice. I wonder how much it will go for?

I'm no expert, but having looked at the sites below, I'd be very skeptical of rare, historic flute with no apparent provenance on e-bay.

I wanna go warm myself by Gary's hearth!

Maybe he'll let me bring some kindling home!

Andrew wrights:

Whistling Dixie wants to know if I approve.

I APPROVE , not that I know anything about flutes.
( but I have a great mentor )
You might tell her that I was able to test a new recipe on a charming
American visitor Mr Wilkes brought over with his group.
He loved it.
( Testing on Americans is midway between animal testing and human
testing.
I am able to say that * No Americans were hurt in making this dessert
* unlike
the Irish group Chris insists I poisoned with a meat pie some years
ago ).
.
Microwave a sliced banana for 1 Minute with cream and rum and a
spoonful of orange marmalade.
Yummy
( I have a suspicion that whisky ,would do at least as well )
I must go into the garden to see if any of the bananas are ripe.

Well, then, if it's a fake it's probably a very old fake.
Why wouldn't an old fake be played?
Maybe because it doesn't play very well?

The seller seems to be getting good ratings.
How does one tell what's what?
We so far have no solid reason
to think it's a repro.

Not that I'll bid on it, but it's interesting, yes?
