Lot of Project Flutes for sale
for parts and restoration
Here are the Project Flutes that I am unloading. All of these flutes were traded for. I used the keys on the London-based flutes as patterns for casting molds which meant stripping them of the pads and springs and cleaning them up. I do not want to take the time to restore these and am selling the lot as-is to someone who might want to, especially someone going through the learning curve of restoration (I was never good at it!).
I am selling selling these as a lot - NOT individually. Make me a reasonable offer via email (caseyburnsflutes@gmail.com). USA only as I do not want to deal with International shipping and the paperwork required.
Payment methods flexible - though I will no longer have PayPal's virtual terminal after the month ends. Thus I will have no way of running credit card data.
I have packed these in a 12 X 12 X 18" box weighing 12 lbs. these will be shipped insured priority mail in the US only. Shipping will cost $45 to $65 depending upon destination (west coast vs east coast USA)
Here is the list of instruments:
Thomas Prowse - I used the Eb, Long F, G#, Bb and C for molding purposes - thus these lack springs and pads. This flute restored could be very nice. This flute was listed at The Irish Flute Store for $1299. I traded a bunch of my Folk Flutes for it.
Clementi (London) - Missing Short F, Eb, C and C# and a few bands.
Unknown (London or USA) - missing fingerhole cover, 1 band missing. F key stripped of spring and pad
Unknown (London or USA) - Missing Eb. The C and both F keys stripped of springs and pads
Unknown, body only (London) - Eb key missing
Austrian - missing C and C# keys
body w/posts and a few fingerhole covers. One of these could be used on one of the above flutes.
German - 8K
German - 8K
German - 6K w/ angled G#, broken Bb
German or French 8K - label is hard to read
Rudall - head joint only for a Boehm
I have included 3 of the cast Eb keys - one of them cleaned up and ready to use.
