Instrument: 4-key flute in F, boxwood with horn rings and brass keys
Maker: Moennig - I assume this is an early example from someone of the Mönnig family who were large producers of flutes and other instruments
Pitch: around A=440?
Sounding Length: 44.6 cm
Total Length: 51cm
Embouchure size:
Restorer: not yet restored
Notes: This flute is in fairly condition with the usual small HJ crack. The embouchure area is rather strange as it seems purposefully warn away but at the same time the size of the hole isn’t changed. Seems to play decently, even with some leaks. I think the line on the LH joint is a scratch not a crack.
