This is the late Michael Grinter's large-hole Rudall, an excellent player with good strong volume and excellent intonation.

The six keys are Eb, short F, long F, G#, Bb and C. The flute is in excellent condition. A hairline crack at one socket has been repaired and is secured with two bands of carbon fiber, visible in the photographs. The flute was fully refurbished and repadded by Jon Cornia in 2023. A hard case is included.
