GN Munger 8-Key, D

American-made (Connecticut) 19th-century English-style wooden flute by G.N. Munger. Features bore and hole spacing/sizing suitable for players with small to medium hands. The flute plays at A=440 with the head joint extended 5/8 of an inch.

This flute has a nice smooth bore and smooth finish, with small holes that produce a pretty quiet, mellow tone—well-suited for a kitchen duet or playing around the house.

Condition notes: Several repaired hairline cracks are present and have been sealed:

• Head joint: one visible crack on top, one on back
• Barrel: at least one visible repaired crack
• Right-hand section: hairline crack sealed on socket side
• Left-hand section: no visible cracks

A characterful 19th-century American flute in playable condition.
