I am selling a 6-key flute in african blackwood made by Thomas Aebi from Basel, Switzerland.
His instruments are highly regarded all around the world for their quality and craftsmanship. http://www.aebi-flutes.com/
The design is based on 19th century flutes by Rudall and Rose with some modifications for tuning.
Keywork, rings and tuning slide are silver.
Head is fully lined (brass).
The flute has blocks for possible addition of the low c# and C keys and blocks for addition of 2nd (long) Bb key.
Mr. Aebi’s current waiting list is about 2 years.
This flute has been played and oiled regularly and is in pristine condition.
Price: € 2750,-
which includes shipping inside the EU. Preferred payment method is Bank Transfer.
There’s no custom case for this flute, but I can ship it in a large foam padded plastic case, which also can hold a few whistles (down to size alto A) or other accessories.
There are a bunch of pictures on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/runemeijer/sets/72157627277344640/
and, for those interested, I recorded 2 tunes on this flute:
