E.G. Williams of London, 1-Key

Note: Due to the ivory, this flute is available to US customer only.

This is a handsome boxwood one-key flute made by E.G. Williams of London, a flute maker active around 1820. The single key is brass, and the flute showcases the straightforward design characteristic of early 19th-century London makers.

The E.G. Williams produces a warm and mellow tone, making it an excellent choice for a player with smaller hands who wants a sweet-voiced flute for casual playing. The single key design keeps the instrument simple and responsive, while the boxwood body provides the rich, warm character typical of wood flutes from this era.

This is a piece of musical history from a London maker whose work represents a particular moment in flute craftsmanship, paired with the playability and tonal qualities that make it genuinely enjoyable to play.

Sounding length: 524mm

Plays well at A440 with the headjoint fully pushed in. The tenon leaves ample room to tune down as it warms with playing.
