I have been keeping my powder dry for a while, although some may have seen pictures, but now that the current Engraver issue has just arrived on my doorstep, including an article about this flute, I feel at liberty to post photos here.
Briefly, I made the flute last year, and it was bought by a Swiss chemist from Zurich. I was hoping he might have been a Swiss banker! However, it changed hands for $5000, and the new owner tells me that it is playing very well. The wood is grenadilla, sometimes called African Blackwood. It can play at three different pitches, A415, A430, and A440 by interchanging the middle joints. It is best suited to the music of Bach, Handel, Haydn and early Mozart.
