Louis Lot Silver Flute

LOUIS LOT SILVER FLUTE

This example of the Louis Lot flute is in pristine condition
At the time this instrument was produced Ernest Chambille
was the foreman of the company.
Made somewhere around 1921.

Detail of the tail of this premium model flute.
Some models only have a silver tube and plated keywork.
This one is a full silver example.

A nice detail of the crown of the head and the engraving.
The number of these flutes can be found on the head.
It has been overhauled completely by the old french flute
specialist Ton Kooiman (De Meern) and is a nice player.
Playing at A = 440 Hz this instrument has remained unaltered.
