Extremely rare Louis Lot wooden flute Nr. 2070 !

Description

For sale is the rarest of Lot flutes, a model 1 wooden cylindrical flute with an engraved silver lipplate, silver keywork  and a b-foot, nr.2070 made in 1875 by the greatest flute maker of all time, Louis Esprit Lot himself.
This is the only flute of that model I am aware of, hence its incredible rarity, and it was by far the most expensive model sold at the time.
The flute is in superb physical  and playing condition whithout any cracks and the pads
are in excellent condition as well.The instrument seems to be built at A = 446 but plays well at A=440 and higher with the headjoint pulled out.
All three sections of the flute are stamped with the name and serial number.The blowhole is completely original, as is the rest of the instrument.
The sound of this flute is simply unbelievable with fantastic tonal colors which reduce any modern flute made today to, well, a copy, of this one, which is what modern flutes are.
Its the best sounding wooden Louis Lot flute I have ever seen and I have seen many.
Here is your chance to own and enjoy a unique piece of flute history and a musical treasure that surpasses all later attempts of mankind at flute making.
