My latest flute restoration, Lyon Healy/ Chicago D piccolo in blackwood and ivory. The flute must have been made late 19th century or early 20th century as it is in such good tuning for 440htz. It is interesting to note that the flute has a lot of the hallmarks of a original Meyers, the plate mounted keys and extra ring on the upper section. I used to have a Concert flute from the same maker, alongside the original Meyers you could tell that it wasn’t made by the same maker, but very similar.
Just wanted to share with the class… 
Jon: very nice indeed! Would there be any chance of a couple more photo’s?
Nice , Jon.
May I steal some photos for the old piccolo blog.
Is this for a client? For sale, or a keeper for yourself.
If you come across a Rudall Carte piccolo looking for an owner give me a shout.
For now I’m content with my new Basel piccolo and Murray.
Sure, I will post more photos. It is mine, but probably be selling it. It just looked like a fun project…
Looking at this photo, the wood may be Madagacar Rosewood on the flute body. this was the same wood my Original Meyers flute was made from.
Very pretty! What do you do to stabilize that crack that runs through the embouchure?
Best wishes.

I took it apart, glued the crack, reamed the bore, and re-glued it to the liner with epoxy. being such a small bor, the crack should be very stable, being that the pressure has been removed.
