I've got a flute made by Jon C. in Bocote. It's a keyless Pratten pattern with brass tuning slide and brass rings. Very easy player and loud as well. Comes with a Jean Cavallaro soft case and delrin cleaning rod. I'm asking $400 (I will consider any reasonable offer though) plus actual shipping. PM me with any questions.
Thank you,
Tim

Re: FS: Jon C. "D" Pratten in Bocote
I remember this flute fondly, though it was in my early days of fluting that I "owned" it, and traded it off only because I had to, to pursue what I thought best at the time.
Just wish I had the means to be able to revisit it now. I believe it was a very good flute. It certainly had a nice tone, and the workmanship was very good, from the early Jon C's flute production. I think many good flutes were made then, from the comments on the board from happy customers.
Here's a link to the original picture of the flute at the bottom of the page: It was very pretty when new, though it has darkened considerably since then.

- 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.

Jon, I cheated on you last night and had another C&F member's chili. Still, it was a moment of synchronicity!
