Description

Nice "Nach Mayer" 12 keyed flute in original case. Playing well. Used for irish trad sessions. A = 440 Hz with slide extended 8mm. Material (my best appraisal) : Head is either Ivory or bone, Barrel is ebonite and body is ebonised blackwood, keys German silver with standard metal slide.
No cracks or crack repairs, some scuffs and marks which reflect its age. Early 20th century, marked LP and D , (see pictures) Possibly made in USA where Ivory heads were more popular. The case is in good condition but no lock key. Questions or comments welcome. I can post worldwide or callers are welcome to come and play the flute. I can send a sound sample on request. Not ideal for a beginner , more suited to an experienced player.

@DanDuggan thank you for the offer, let me think about it. Do you want to have a play on it

Thank you. I don't play. I play vintage guitars and I have a friend that's v good on trad flute and Id like to buy it for him as a present. I am of the belief that vintage instruments have a unique history and ageing that make them special

@DanDugganhi Dan, sorry I cannot accept that offer. I have other antique flutes I could do for €200 , they don’t have an Ivory head.
