Price: 6750 euros Rare offering of a thinned cocus-wood Rudall Carte flute of which very few were produced because of their complexity to make and relative expense. Wood and mechanism in lovely condition. Solid silver keywork and mechanism, characteristic footjoint and ball end on thumb key. Plays sweetly yet with authority. The headjoint made of rosewood was commissioned by Roger Rostron of the Hallé Orchestra from John Wicks of Rudall Carte and sits comfortably at A440 to 442. Recent overhaul. Couple of Irish numbers here: https://youtu.be/8tPu8YDfsxg https://youtu.be/GtJlzlirnYw This flute has a modern 'barrel' that will accept your 'standard' wood or metal headjoint tenon! Note: the headjoint has a very fine hairline on the opposite side to blow hole. As the headjoint is metal lined this has no effect on sound. seller: Nat Boot

Price: £5000 Selling this beautiful Powell Signature flute: - sterling silver throughout - offset G - B foot - cherrywood case I bought this flute in 2009 and played on it happily for many years. It has a beautiful, flexible sound, very reliable intonation and a great mechanism. I have been hanging on to it because it is a special instrument, but it deserves to be played, and I need to buy a new piccolo, so here it is 🙂
