I bought this reproduction flute d’amour on eBay.

It’s as described and a great sounding instrument. The problem is it cramps my hands in a major way to play it. I can cover the holes fine, I think it has more to do with the distance from the embouchere to the top hole and the length of my arms. I’m asking $400. PM me if interested. Thanks.

Interesting flute Kim, any idea who made it? I don’t see that listed in the ebay ad and can’t make out any markings.

I don’t know who made it. I have a suspician it’s Daniel Deitch but he has a mark that he puts on his flutes so I don’t know why this one would not have one.
Maybe he started making before he started marking. If I wasn’t buying an Eb and possibly a thing with strings I may go for it.
What is it made of Box? Maple?
It’s maple.
