nice german flute - Sonora

I’m selling an interesting open-hole wooden flute, in full working order and with a nice tone. It’s German and I think it’s probably from the 1920s/30s. It has a Boehm-style metal+?bakelite head joint but a conical wooden body, with very full keying, going down to low B. If anyone is interested in seeing a photo of it please contact me on easternangle@aol.com

The maker’s stamp says Schutzmarke “Sonora”. I think it was made by Adler of Leipzig.

I wouldn’t be selling it, except I’ve just acquired an even nicer one (an old Abel Siccama which needs a lot of work but sounds like it will be terrific :slight_smile:). However the Sonora is one to be played so I would rather that it went to someone who was going to play it.
