Rare Rudall Carte & Co handmade solid silver flute #9725 (1960) - Hallmarked
This is a unique opportunity to acquire an historic and sought-after collector's flute by the iconic British makers Rudall & Carte. It is hallmarked for London 1960 and is constructed of Sterling silver. It has closed holes with offset G keys and C foot with the addition of a 'Brosser' key which offers an alternative and cleaner top F#. The condition is excellent and this flute plays well and is pitched at 440hz. It has had a recent service and adjustment and the pads are used but have life left in them and so we have not replaced them. It comes with the original case and so will be packed very carefully when sent.

These flutes were handmade to the highest specification and are beautifully constructed. The headjoints are not as responsive as a modern cut, however it plays nicely as is and a change to a bespoke modern headjoint will give a very classy set-up. Handmade flute bodies of this specification and quality are very sought-after and Rudall Carte were Britain's top flute maker of the last century. These are becoming rarer to find but I have priced this to sell and I can also combine with a handmade headjoint with free adjustment if required.
