Lehart Keyless Flute's Upgrade

Irish Flute
1

Hi friends,

I’ve a Lehart keyless flute and now I need to buy a 8 keyed flute to play galician music (mostly C key, so I want a fully chromatic flute to play both Irish & Galician music with the same flute).

I’m thinking to upgrade my Lehart keyless D flute, puting on the 8 keys (postmounted). So my questions are:

-Could you send me, please, some photos of a keyed Lehart flute? I haven’t idea how it looks… :confused: Thank you, really I need it
-What do you think about a keyless flute upgrade? Is it a good idea? My flute have an amazing tone that I want to preserve. Puting keys on my flute can damage the sound or tuning?

Thanks

I had a 6-key Lehart (since sold) and the keywork was lovely. Really lovely action and nice looking.

Hope it goes well.

Thank you all for your pics

Obviously Mr. Lehart’s key work is very fine.
