    Description

    I’m most certainly not an expert in Flageolet but I do know these are very uncommon to find in the USA. This may have been originally sold as a Flageolet/clarinet combo as these all fit into the same compartmentalized hard case.
    This auction is for one complete vintage Flageolet of wood construction with black beak included. I examined this closely and was unable to see any cracks breaks or repairs No visible makers mark or stamps. The pads appear to be operational as this was tested and played every note clearly. (Actually sounded quite good to me). I sent sone pics to local vintage instrument expert Fred Oster of Vintage Instruments in Philadelphia PA, (also seen on PBS Antique Roadshow),who believes this instrument dates from the late 1800s to early 1900s and is most likely French in origin. The complete Flageolet appears to be in very good condition for its age and should be a great find for a player.
    AS A BONUS
    The winning bidder will receive a SECOND incomplete Flageolet (smaller see pics) that is apparently missing its barrel and beak. Otherwise it appears to be good condition but untested.
    BUT THERES MORE…,…the winner will also receive the pictured period vintage JW Pepper “Premier” Philadelphia PA branded wood clarinet (untested). It would be safe to say that this will probably require pads and normal service for an antique clarinet if this age. (This too could possibly be French in origin and branded for Pepper for distribution).
    All together the winner gets one complete working Flageolet with the extra parts piece and complete clarinet in vintage case for one price. Take a look at the pics for measurements and condition as these are part of the description.
    This should be an excellent deal for someone and the FIRST BIDDER gets the whole package with FREE SHIPPING in the Upper 48 US States. Sorry no international or bidders from Alaska or Hawaii please.
    This will be final sale as pictured and described. Please check my perfect extensive seller feedback and you will see that I always describe my auctions as accurately as possible and have nothing but satisfied auction winners.
    You get one pile of beautiful vintage wood for one price. Feel free to message with any questions and I’ll respond. Thanks. Joe
