Irish Flute: William Pond

I bought a 1-key antique flute in D from The Irish Flute Store in April, 2013. It was made by William Pond more than 100 years ago. It cost 538 dollars including the shipping cost.

It is a quiet flute. It isn't easy for me to play, but I enjoy playing it very much!

There is a sign on each section.

P.S.

I sold this flute in 2015.
