Is a Noe Freres 6 key flute, on eBay. It is cocus and silver (the silver looks a little lower quality, maybe pure instead of sterling) and ivory rings. It has apparently been overhauled.
Terry McGee makes replicas of these as well on request.
Will people ever learn to just list these in wooden flutes where we all look!

According to the description, I’d say it’s an Hérouard Frères. My NLI doesn’t know any “Heriruari”.
I don’t know what they mean: “silver (but not high grade)”…
And it’s very expensive.

I think that it means that it is nickel silver, which is not silver at all.. And it is a little pricey.
OK… But according to the pictures, it doesn’t seem to be the case, and nickel silver is not very common on french flutes.
Is it possible that the silver is not 925 grade sterling but another grade that may not be considered as high grade as 925 (perhaps softer silver?)
All in all, expensive, but if someone knew that was the type of flute they wanted, it’s not that bad for an in tune 6 key flute.
And Mr. McGee does say that these flutes play well and don’t require alot of practice on the embouchure.

how about this one that I won on Ebay for $250? I guess this one is a French flute?
