This beautiful William Hall boxwood parlor flute, adorned with ivory trim and one brass key, is a historic piece from the mid-18th century. Restored to fine playing condition, it is designed to play tunes transposed to the keys of F and Bb. Unlike a Baroque traverso, this flute is known for its accurate "4-finger" Ab note, which plays in tune. Hall’s flutes were renowned for their craftsmanship, and this one showcases the blend of elegance and functionality typical of that era. Hall, a significant figure in American flute-making, produced instruments that remain cherished by collectors and players alike.
