F.S. -- 6-Key Rudall Model -- Sale Pending

Currently offered for adoption is large-holed Rudall model flute with 6 block mounted keys made by contemporary Australian maker Craig Fischer in 1989. Sale is Pending.

Mr. Fischer is very well regarded for his Uilleann Pipes. This flute is a responsive and nuanced player with very good intonation, but tends to like being played in a robust manner best! :smiley: I believe the flute is modeled after Rudall & Rose number 3012.

The flute is made of blackwood with nickel-silver fittings and keys. The head is fully lined with brass. The only ā€œflawsā€ are two minor cracks in the head (not through the embouchure). The maker reportedly repaired them, when the flute was 6-months old and they have been stable ever since. When I acquired the flute it appeared to have languished for a considerable period of time. She has been thoroughly cleaned, oiled and the tennons freshly wrapped. The keypads have all been redone with ensolfoam. I have carefully broken her in over the last month and she is ready and raring to be played.

Here’s her picture:

Personally, I believe this flute is easily worth twice what I am asking. But when good fortune smiles upon me, it can also smile upon you! :slight_smile:

Please direct inquiries by email to sillydill@sbcglobal.net or via PM.

Thank you for your consideration.

Jordan - that’s a great deal for a 6 keyed flute.

I hope you find a nice home for her…she’s a nice looking flute…tempting, except for my nickel silver allergy (with that band on the headjoint).

The sale of this flute set a new Chiff & Fipple record!

Total elapsed listing time of less than 7 minutes, before initial sale contact! :party:

This beats my own previous record of 2 contacts within 15 minutes.

Thank You so very much to all, for enabling my flute habbit! :wink:
