My other hobby- flute restoration

People send these flutes to me from all over the world to be restored, I also pick them up on eBay. The brown flute with the blue velvet is one of my originals. Enjoy!

Fascinating.

a good friend of mine is a baroque flutist. I bet she’d love these photos!!

Other than the fact I use Pan Flute music for “meditation” (or Miles Davis) I know nothing about them, how do they differ from these works of art?

Cool, is your friend on Facebook? We have a big flute club there, with very notable musicians. I restore flutes from hat era, have one from 1764 made from ivory by Richard Potter.

Pan flute is actually a series of whistles, these are traverse blown flutes, similar to the modern ones.
