Piccolo for sale, six keys, London Improved D (SOLD)

Irish Flute
1

Hello All

I have a piccolo for sale. I believe it is cocus, six nickel keys.

Plays in tune in a440 with the slide out a bit.

I’m not a professional restorer but I have been fixing them up.

I have cleaned, oiled, and repadded with closed cell foam and reinforced a previously done barrel crack. It’s playing nicely now. I can get a very Doonanesque type of tone of this one more so than my Rudall Carte. It plays rather like my Murray piccolo like a mini rough Irish flute rather than the lighter tone of the Rudall Carte.

You can see it here on my piccolo page:

I am after 115 pounds plus shipping and paypal fees.

Please send pm.

Suggest you take a look at your last pic on your blog site and change the G# key from the D# position and then replace the D# key from the G# back to where it should go…unless of course the picture at the start was wrong and the last is correct? Just as well it wasn’t a real “band flute” so maybe Jem will chip in …and tell you it is an Eb key. LoL

Indeed Neil,
Working too fast this morning. Rep added those keys as the earlier pads I put on were a bit too small.

You got to start somewhere.
Piccolo is playing great

Fixed now, working even better assembled correctly.

I’ll put up some sound clips of the “thing” as soon as I have a moment.
