Looks amazing, and sounds great :)
That low C makes a lot of noice though...
I'm surprised that you never use the long F key.

A very hansome looking flute there indeed, and lovely flute playing on the clip. Love the use of the bottom keys on the C note, well done !!

Cheers and good luck with the new flute

Lovely work and playing.

I must say that I still have to enounter a constantly quiet fully keyed pewter plug foot joint. But I like the clackedy-clack.

Yes, the clickity clack has never bothered me. I think it indicates that there is something going on down there. It's usually in time with the music too!
