Rare Antique 8-keyed Flute Stamped Drouet / London, Early 19th Century
Posted by admin On September 3, 2024
Rare 8-keyed flute stamped DROUET / LONDON. Speaking length 585 mm, total length 663 mm. Embouchure hole 11,3×10,3 mm. 3 Keys missing, 2 keys incomplete, bottom ring missing. Partially restored with the same material (recycled from a broken piccolo headjoint) of the original. There is also an old repair with metal, and a visible small crack (see photo) with no air leak. The B-flat and G-sharp keys had been recently repadded with leather, old E-flat key pad still working. Closing the holes of the missing keys with wax the instrument plays well, and the pitch is somewhat high. Please write for any additional info. Raro flauto a 8 chiavi con marchio DROUET / LONDON. Lunghezza dal foro di insufflazione 585 mm, lunghezza totale 663 mm. Foro di insufflazione 11,3×10,3 mm. 3 chiavi mancanti, 2 chiavi incomplete, anello inferiore mancante. Parzialmente restaurato con lo stesso materiale (riciclato da una testata di ottavino rotta) dell’originale. C’è anche una vecchia riparazione con metallo, e una piccola crepa visibile (vedi foto) senza perdita d’aria. Le chiavi del si bemolle e del sol diesis sono state recentemente ritamponate con pelle, mentre il vecchio tampone della chiave del mi bemolle è ancora funzionante. Chiudendo i fori delle chiavi mancanti con cera lo strumento suona bene, e il diapason è alquanto alto. Scrivete per qualsiasi informazione aggiuntiva.

Could be 19th century- i could not find a date.. Wood, brass, steel/iron and cork. One of the ribs/arms/fingers/slidy thingers sits a little proud but it seems all original- see pics. Stored for 40+ years, i did a very superificial wipe down of this with a rag and touch of ballistol. Holler with any questions.
