This is a rare instrument indeed - Michael Allen's flutes are handmade in England, and rarely come up for sale second hand. His flutes are superbly built with all sorts of innovations in the keywork, from the double axled thumb key, which reduces wear on this key, to the dual gizmo keys and footjoint key clutches.
In lovely condition throughout. This flute has been serviced in our workshop ready for sale and plays beautifully.
Michael J Allen was trained as a Silver and Goldsmith in the famous Hatton Garden Jewelery quarter in London. He subsiquently became facinated with the flute and combined his skills to create one of the most unique instruments available today. He is truly at the forefront of flute and headjoint construction, in both functionality and artistic design. Every flute is individually custom made to a specific design. Customers individual requests can be taken into consideration! The instrument can only be described as a "work of art" that is unique, offering the player a sound, and tonal quaility that is outstanding.
