Hammy asked me to post this notice for him.
Opening bid is $400
Could be a fantastic deal on a keyed flute.
Bump.
If only I had some money…
I like his addition of the tenon rings.
Great idea reaming a German flute into a R&R…

Hey now.

I have the flute that Jon C. is refering too, I like it a lot
In fact the tenon rings and socket linings are original…this was a cut above average german flute before I worked on it.
All the Best

Nice to see you here ![]()
I’ve one almost identical in that respect, looks very similar but mine also has the silver band over the embouchure, also re-worked by someone in the past for the same reasons (but probably not as effectively!). It’s ended up pretty much in tune although the scale is a bit ‘stretched’ at 440 (it might have once been high pitched). All in all, very playable, although the brass tuning slide could do with a little stretching for a snugger fit. I’m not sure I’d have risked the kind of money this one went for on Ebay though.
How much did it go for Mark?
I used to own one also, but I never had it worked on and it was a bit off everyone told me when I played at sessions.

950 EUR, ~ $1,500, or ~ £757.61
Glad to see you are still working your magic over here Jon. I’m still playing that old pretty good German flute that you re-reemed for me years ago making it a superb pretty good old German flute.
Did I say that right??? ![]()
Take care;

Doing well, still flitting about to see whats next. I was just thinking about Jon C the other day and happened across this post. Didn’t want to hijack or anything like that, just good to see Jon is still doing his thing.
