A reply from Andrew:
You might say that I hope that Mr Glinjack was the purchaser of the eBay Rudall I had hoped to buy myself.
It is the only explanation I can think of for his rubbishing such an obviously fine flute.
I shall treasure the photos of the bottom joint.
You could say that I bought the other beat up flute, the Pearson
in the belief that " A Rudall by any other name will sound as sweet "
as Shakespeare no doubt really intended to write prophetically.

Yup ! Got ta go with Andrew on that one… 
I love Andrew. 
It would be so fun to pit the Andrew against the glinjack.
Wit vs Wit. I’d love it.

I doubt that Andrew wrote that, i dont think he would have any interest in a flute in that condition,
I did not buy that flute or did’nt even put a bid on it.
I totally agree with Andrew. These old classics can be restored to there original beauty and playability. Also to note, those who know Andrew, would know this is authentic Andrew, un-abbridged.
Many of us have no doubts concerning your ability to channel Andrew. 
well, for the record I didn’t buy it either…no interest in PH flutes any longer.
But…
would love a PM or email from someone telling me who did buy it so I can place it confidentially in the catalogue (whose update release is forthcoming!!)

Ok, I will bite, is PH Pre-Hudson or a measurement of moisture? 
Maybe it’s like “ph factor” as in the acidity. Isn’t boxwood low in acidity?
Come on ! It’s “Patent Head”…and just for the record I would have bought it just to see what makes it tick ! (T. McGee has taken one apart on his website…)
A loud DUH!
was heard around the world…
I know, I would have loved to take a look at one my self…
you can make one out of concrete!
I really hadn’t thought of that…concrete wants to stick to metal…still…(I’m still working on a good foot)…hmmmm…yes, there is a way to do it w/o the the nested tubes that might be usable w/ concrete…
Should I upgrade your model…?
I’m sure Chris Wilkes for example would be able to get this flute in top trim as soon as he had the time. It’s obviously a good flute that has been well used but still definitely worth restoring
No, I will take the simplified version! We don’t want to add weight to it… 
Here’s a patent headed tootler with advanced iron mongery attatched.

Must have been made by Wylde, it has that Monzani barrel.
I think this head joint is more creative… I like the little wind- up thing on the side also.
