An antique 6-key flute in Eb bearing the mark of the Army & Navy Co-operative Society Ltd. The wood appears to be cocus. It was likely made by Boosey in the late 1800s and sold through the Society for use in Army or Navy bands.

It has a strong, spirited voice with remarkable resonance and power. The flute is pitched high, playing Eb at A=452. With the head joint pushed fully in, it plays E at A440, and with the head extended about 5/8 inch it plays Eb at A440, which makes it a versatile instrument for playing with others.

The flute has been restored with new pads, and its cracks have been pinned. One ring is missing from the head joint, to the right of the embouchure.
