This Lot was made in 1897 when the company was run by E. Barat. Considering the age of this instrument, the case is in remarkable condition, with the hinge still intact.
This flute, dating from 1897, is in original, untuned condition, and with its original lip-plate. It looks as though this flute has been re-plated at some point as there is evidence of previous pitting on some of the keys and we believe that the lip-plate is original. It is in approximate playing condition, but does require a general service.
