An excellent and rare Buffet Crampon ring flute, dating the first years of the second half of the 19th century when Buffet was still a craftsman builder. The flute only descends to D flat. It was believed that the flute descended in D flat offered better sound quality. The tuning mechanism is present. Manufacture is superior quality, small ring keys fixed to rods not by pins but by screws. Note that the B Bb lever is not the Briccialdi Bb lever; as this lever appears in 1850 the flute can be dated before 1850. The flute has been completely restored and is ready for playing. Please feel free to ask for more info and pictures.
