I put the Pfaff on eBay, and was playing it, the ivory head cracked again!
So now it has a nice unlined cocuswood head and barrel, problem solved!
I love the design of the barrel, it really ties it into the rest of the flute.
Here is the before…
This flute is one of the best American flutes I have played, maybe the new cocus head helps some… ![]()
Man, that’s pretty… ![]()
Best wishes.

Oh boy, giving me the puppy dog eyes! that is a low blow… It is the metal work that holds me up!
I’m just joshing you. Happy New Year my friend! ![]()
I am selling the Pfaff flute once more, to finance my Rudall & Rose. ![]()

The flute is now ivory free, so can be shipped internationally!
Great flute!
Jon ~ will you take two old Boxwood flutes for it?
