This is a rare antique 4-key flute from WM. Made in New York in the 1800s. The flute is made of wood with silver keys and a silver riser.
The headjoint is also made of wood, creating a warm and rich tone. There is no cracks, chips or other damage I can see... The joints need to be recorded or thread wound, and probably new pads otherwise perfect. The flute has been well-preserved and is in excellent playing condition.It is a highly sought-after instrument for collectors and musicians alike. Don't miss out on this unique piece of history.
