FS: Holmes-McNaughton One-Key (Eb) Blackwood Flute

I am selling a rare Holmes-McNaughton one-key (Eb) blackwood D flute. Bill McNaughton is a less well known but extremely respected maker of concert flutes. https://www.holmesmcnaughton.com.

This flute is in perfect tune and plays well, with excellent volume and clarity. It is like new. It has seldom been played in sessions and has always been properly humidified and oiled. There are no cracks or warp, no nicks or dings. It is as fresh and new as the day it left the shop.

It is a beautiful player with a rich, fat tone. It is the equal of any Olwell, Wilkes, or Hammy. I have played hundreds of flutes and this is one of the best. The estimable Tom McElvogue, who plays one, would agree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZiJ_jzMuxM

The flute comes in its original hard wood case. I am happy to offer a trial period. I am asking $1,550, which includes shipping from Ireland to anywhere in the world. I offer a full money-back guarantee (less postage). You will love this flute.

The flute has been spoken for.

Thanks everybody…
