models. (up to 70% of original

SERIES 1
This was my first design, it features fairly small
tone holes and has a pleasant woody tone. Developed for ease of
playing, this
flute is popular with small handed players.
SERIES 2
Features a wider bore and larger tone holes typical
of a “Pratten” flute. A more strident tone,
particularly on the lower notes.
SERIES R
This is a “warts and all” copy of a
flute by Rudall and Rose C1830.

African blackwood and boxwood are available as
standard, other timbers subject to availability.
Tip rings can be made from brass, artificial ivory,
boxwood or Sterling silver.

Pillar mounted keys can be retro fitted to any of
my flutes. Keys are silver plated, an option of gold plate is also
available.
