Francois Verrier Lyon Handmade Boehm Flute HISTORIC
Here is a Francois Verrier handmade French flute. This instrument is in overall good condition and is a fine 19th century French flute.
As this instrument is historically interesting, we have elected to sell in as-found condition and have done no restoration work to it. We leave that to the eventual owner. We expect that it will likely need pad and keywork to be playable.
Provenance: The Nowinski Collection. Jack Nowinski was an instrument repairman and collector who spend his lifetime amassing an impressive collection of interesting instruments. We are happy to offer instruments from his collection for sale.
