Beautiful flute of the French school. On the head joint: Medaille d'or exposition universelle Paris excelsior Coueson Paris 2729. This is probably the 1900 exposition and therefore the flute can be dated to the early 1900s, also in relation to the shape of the keys. The flute, made of dark rosewood, is in excellent condition, the action is in order but the pads need replacing. The case is original, intact but in modest condition. The flute weighs 477 g, the sounding length is 60 mm, the exitmated pitch 432. Feel free to ask for more info and pictures.
