An original 1880's flute from the Paris workshop of Louis Lot.Soldered tone-holes, C foot, keywork showing no wear to the hinge-tubes or pad-cups. The solid silver tube measures .013 inches. The flute was constructed with inline G, and soldered tone-holes.
Traditional scale, sounding length is 600 mm (A = 440). I see no sign that the head has been cut shorter or altered in any way.
The flute has not been "re-tuned".
Embouchure measures 9.9 X 11.8 mm.
The flute is part of a small collection of French instruments that I've acquired over the years, which means I may offer to sell a few more in the upcoming months.
