Description
Flute – LOT, Louis (Debonneetbeau)
This beautiful Louis LOT silver-plated flute is fully restored and on sale in its original case – ready to be played by a new owner.
It was made after Louis LOT (1807-96) had retired and his first successor Honoré Désiré VILLETTE had literally just left the company and gone into retirement too. The maker? Louis Ernest Debonneetbeau de Coutelier (1836-1891). He was first workshop manager and then owner of the Louis Lot company from 1882-1889 and built the Lot flutes 3392 to 4750.
show more By checking the serial number 3398, we can date this flute to 1882. So this is one of the first few flutes that were sold under Debonneetbeau’s name. It plays very nicely with the typical characteristics of a Louis Lot flute. It has a lovely small embouchure 10.05 x 11.75 mm and the instrument is very light weight. The sound is very bright and elegant and it plays at around a=438 Hz. This Louis Lot flute has been completely overhauled with new silver plating, pads and corks. The case is original and fortunately, we have the key! A marvellous instrument in fabulous, entirely restored condition. show less
