Richard & George Payne flute on E-bay

Irish Flute

There’s a Richard & George Payne flute on E-bay just now. Cracked barrel, missing block & end ring etc. nothing serious. George Payne worked for Rudall & Rose before going into business for himself.

It could be this same Payne flute found in Antrim and discussed here in 2004

That would be a very interesting flute to restore, alas no cash… :cry:

Are you sure? I bet it would be a major Payne.

Dang, I forgot to bid on it. I really liked that flute for some reason. Looked to be in very good shape save for a few issues that aren’t all that big of a deal. It’s rare to see a flute with the original case and certificate.

Only two bids… Whoever got it, got a great deal! It would be a fun restoration… :smiley:
