Finally, I put my original Hudson Pratten up on ebay. Sad about it, but I really needed to do it.

All the best, Arbo.
good luck; that’s a gorgeous flute

Thanks TW! It is a beautiful flute indeed, and a beautiful player. I am not utilizing it much these days, and in need of cash, so there it is. Sad for me, but great for someone who will appreciate it and play it!

Oh my… Arbo, you’ve finished your Pratten flutes, haven’t you??? You had two (I think?) and (almost) sold both…!
So you’ve decided for the FH&Co? I’m shocked…
No, only one Pratten. The one you are thinking about was the Hawkes & Son flute. yes, for some reason I tend to play the FH&CO. more. I also have the Abell hj, and the Jon C. hj for the Firth, which gives some variety to the sound and playability of the instrument. Just no playing the Pratten, and it needs to be played.
