It's late, and I'm running behind like I usually am. but I really am trying to get my blog back to 3 times a week, so here is a quickie. The top picture is stuff I've pulled to work on a few weeks ago, and I'm slowing picking stuff out to actually use... and the below pic is what's actually on my desk right now... flute parts. This flute I couldn't date, but I'm guessing is 1950-60's due to wear and what the case looked like. It's not as old as some of the flutes we have had but I would guess it's in the worse shape, part of the body was actually kind-of.. well, bent. just slightly, but I can't imagine that helped the sound quality. This is one of the What Cheer buys from August!
One interesting part of the flute is most of the keys were in sets' of 3. So I'm getting a bunch of earrings out of this flute ( the first flute we got every key was slightly different sized... again part of why I think it's newer.. if the keys are more uniform then it's probably cheaper to produce them)
Jerry has kindly cut the keys off, and now I'm doing some extra filing and sanding for smooth corners and I'm cleaning them up and polishing them.
I'll definitely have new flute earrings for
Farmer's Market on the 24th!
