Charles Nicholson (1795-1837) was a renowned flutist for his playing skill and for his technical innovation that led to a flute with large holes giving a powerful tone. Boehm in 1832 was impressed by the sound of Nicholson's flute and declared: "if I had not listened to Nicholson I would never have designed my flute". Nicholson wrote his "A School for the Flute" in 1836. The book I propose is in very good condition with hard cover. 136 pages.
