Cylindrical wood Louis Lot
flutes in excellent playing condition are the gems of the flute world. They are
light, responsive, well designed, beautifully crafted, and, above all, have
gorgeous tones. These flutes rarely come to market.
Lot #5593 was made during the
early Chambille era. It is in pristine condition and ready to play. The wood is
flawless and the keys gleam like a brand new instrument, a testament to years
of careful handling. The flute's sound is remarkably warm and intimate,
surprisingly light for a B-footjoint model. Notes resonate clearly and
effortlessly across all registers, promising a rich and expressive playing
experience that is not available on a comparably silver instrument. It comes in
its original case in good condition.
