flute projects (still) in the works



 


here's a fix-a-upper... beat-up old one key flute, no markings, no history, probably 100 years old at least. some keys had been added and subsequently removed and the tone holes plugged. serious cracks lower and foot joint. had it for a few years, thought i would fix it and have some fun.

 



(still) making my first headjoint. its been a few years in the making too. thought i should finish it this year and move on.




an old friend came back to visit, she's an old wood flute i fixed up for a friend a few years ago. i'm thinking about making a wood headjoint to go with the wood body, it would be so cool...







awesome flutist...
time to go practice...
