I tried to send you the address of a French URL with a picture of an 1867 C bass, but kept getting an error message. Is there an address I can send that to?

For my three instruments, see J. Amer. Mus. Inst. Soc XIII 89-106 (1987), Fig. 3, 4, 5.

Sorry about the e-address mixup. I was inadvertently on my 15-year old son's page, and it got his Pokémon address on my message. My address is Tootlepipes@aol.com.
I see it still did it. SWorry.

I have three 1867's: concert flute, piccolo and alto flute, which are my regular performing instruments. The piccolo is cocuswood, the other two are sterling silver. Now if I could only get a C bass to match!

Very nice playing ...I have one of these old flutes, but the mechanism is wrecked ! As regards fingering there is a chart in Langey's flute tutor, but that is probably now out of print.
No worries! Your instruments sound very interesting. I am hoping to buy a baroque flute soon as a result of getting this flute refurbished & playing baroque music on it!

The hardest thing about this fingering system is remembering to put G sharp key ON for G and take it OFF for G sharp. It's easier to learn new fingerings than to always remember to do this!!

It's called Richard Carte's chart of fingerings and trills for his 1867 System flute" in the list of facsimile fingering charts

Sorry I keep trying to post it! If u search 1867 system flutes the first result should be oldflutes and a fingering chart for 1867 system is on their site

Thank you all for your positive comments. I'll keep working at this flute as I love the sound and the challenge of learning the fingering system!
