Louis Lot Earliest Complete Handmade Flute with Gold Lip and Riser-C9039
About
This exquisite flute offers a unique blend of characteristics that make it stand out in Louis Lot’s early creation. The tone is particularly nuanced and velvety, enriched by the golden lip plate that adds subtle variations in tone colour.
Expressive and full-bodied this flute is an ideal choice for both solo and ensemble settings. The tube of the flute feels thin when held, providing a delicate and lightweight feel that enhances playability and comfort. The keys are designed to be thinner than today’s modern flutes, and the tone holes are narrower, contributing to the flute’s distinctive ergonomic design.
This instrument features an early closed G system, with the rod positioned on the exterior, along with an in-line G, giving it a classic and traditional mechanism that will appeal to vintage flute enthusiasts.
Condition
Although it requires some work to be done on the mechanism to reach its full potential, once adjusted, it promises exceptional performance.
