Possible F.L.O.?

Hey folks -

Anybody ever seen these before?

My guess is it’s a flute like object or maybe even fancy firewood. Anybody have any experience with these little boogers?

If it really is 24 inches long with open slide, I’m not sure why they think it’s in Bb…

Looks like a Flute-Like-Object of poor quality woodwork, at least, possibly Eb. Remove keys before burning.

Do not panic and hit the negative feedback button as we will do the same.

Hi,
Pakistani. Unfortunately they didn’t have a tuner handy when it was made! One of the C&Fer’s (name is withheld to protect the innocent) brought me one of these things, It needed a little more wood between the upper section and the foot… I wouldn’t bother removing the keys, just chuck it right in the fire! :smiling_imp: :swear:

An eight-keyed flute with six keys. Nice!

It’s pretty, but ‘pretty to look at’ means little when it comes to ‘pretty’ of sound. The holes look rough, which would likely adversely affect the sound quality.

:laughing: Not to mention the info provided by those who actually know, above.
