hi everyone!
as i will recieve my keyed lehart soon ( 12.04) i want to build wooden box for it. so, i want favour of you guys who posses r&r flutes in wooden boxes.i need outer dimensions of your flute cases, that means lenght, with and height of it and also thicknes of wood from wich box was made.
also sort of wood used to make box.how many comparment you have in your case? my lehart will have 4 peaces, so what is the best disposition for these parts in case? do you have some free space for cork greese of humidifier? is it you case covered inside with velvet or something similar…
thank you all, marin
p.s. i already have case for my seery, but it is pratten style.
Tour the photos on the Rudall & Rose catalogue website at
www.rudallrose.com
and you’ll see many many photos showing the rudalls in their cases.
Should give you an idea of how they were stored (which were usually in “form” fitted slots for a couple parts, such as the crown knob and the long-f key…also a spot for a grease cup and a cleaning rod)

I have three wood cases (squared and solid, not rounded as the leatherette covered types) myself
