Owners of 19th century flutes by Keith Prowse would be amused by an email I received this morning, inviting a link to the Keith Prowse website! Sure enough, the Keith Prowse company continues to this day, but only as a ticketing agency. It seems that their involvement in ticket sales precedes and succeeds their involvement in flutes, and dates back to at least 1815.
My article on a Keith Prowse flute, now with a link to their history page, is at:
