Got it, played it, liked it… what’s the magic missing phrase? Man do I hate keys!!! SO HARD TO MOVE AROUND
Anyway, my loss effectively someone else’s gain. I’m selling it for the total cost to me.
$600 USD. Silver keys and Rosewood construction, cracked and repaired headjoint (lined) All keys and blocks are original and undamaged.
Somewhere just a little south of my Pratten style keyless for volume. Large holed flute. What else can I say? It’s a deal for a nice 8 key. But I don’t have the time for a protracted sale.

Just so you know, the original headjoint does that English slightly off tuning thing. However, I stuck my Seery keyless on it to check tuning, and with the slide completely closed it plays in tune! So a cheap and easy to get replacement headjoint can give you perfect tuning.
Just thought I’d let you know.

What is this English off tuning thing ?
(Off what tuning ? ).
Are you telling us that the flute you are selling is high pitched ?
I come across English flutes from different periods at A = 440.
Others at 435, ( the Paris Opera pitch ).
Others at different pitches , some high pitched, (and perhaps so to be avoided ).
Do please tell us, Demon Piper.
And tell us what is supposed to be perfect tuning.
( Modern American flutes seem to be around 442 ).
And will your cheap (?) headjoints fit your flute ?
If they do what is the tuning of the lower notes in relation to each other ?
Are they thrown out by your modification ?
