“MADE IN HUNGRY”, too! What a revelation to find that Messrs. Ruddall et al. had shops in the land of the Magyar. I would never have guessed.

Oops…the word was “HUNGRY”. I suppose they set to crafting violins once Theobald Boehm upset the apple-cart and starvation set in.

I’d be leary of that Rudall - those S shaped cracks apear nasty!

You’re right Eric.

And, according to the pictures, I think the keys are not sterling silver.

You should probably get a Flute in Blackwood not Flamed Maple.
