Can anyone post, or direct me to some pics of these flutes. I am particularly interested in what a Bb might look like. Thanks, Arbo.
Try Google images.
You’ll find a catalog image and a pic on my “Later Bb flutes page”, and a number of flutes from Rudall Carte’s contemporary competitors. You may want to start at the Rudall & Rose Bb flutes page to see where they were coming from. In chronological order there:
