There’s a nice Rudall looking 8 key (nickel silver) flute by Wood & Ivy (total length 670mm, sound length 592mm) in today’s Gardiner & Houlgate auction. Prehaps of interest

That went for a great price (200 pounds). Is there a better flute name than Wood & Ivy? I’d like one for the name alone…

Aye it was a nice one and cheap at the price. The 13 key B or Bb Rudall will probably go cheap too in spite of it being a rare flute, it looks undamaged and complete too apart from the seemingly “missing” crown. I have it in my register but I’m still waiting for the serial number.
