R. Cook & Co. 8-key flute (made by Wylde) - post restoration demo

Описание: Post restoration demo (assorted tunes and a full 3-octave chromatic scale exploration) of a Pratten-type 8-key simple system flute dealer-stamped R. Cook & Co. 133 Fenchurch St. London and with keys stamped "Wylde", presumably indicating the flute was made in the workshop of Henry Wylde. The flute dates to between 1850-83. (Other examples of the same model with Wylde-stamped keys but different dealer stamps are known.)

There is an extensive photo and video album of aspects of the restoration process, with details of the flute and the restoration work in the album blurb and individual captions, on my Facebook profile here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s.... There are also links to some other tune videos (on FB) in the main album blurb.
