There's little to say about a silver Louis Lot flute, as it's certainly the most sought-after historical flute among musicians and collectors.
In this case, we have an example with serial number 9832, which dates it to the 1920s.
The flute has been completely overhauled by a specialized craftsman who performed a preliminary cleaning and polishing. The special thin pads were then replaced, the springs checked, and the action adjusted. It's an instrument of such beauty and charm that even a non-musician could purchase it simply for the pleasure of admiring it.
The case is sound but not original.
