This is a superb opportunity to obtain a flute from one of the greatest flute makers, in beautiful playing condition and at an extremely reasonable price. It is not a seamed tube as SML dispensed with this method but arguable the mechanism is more solid than the vintage LL flutes and it plays very nicely and to 440hz pitch without having been re-tuned. We have completely overhauled the body but kept the pads as they are seated and in good used condition. It has been marked on the strap as solid silver although we believe that this was a later addition. I believe this particular flute to have been made around the 1960’s approximately. As the serial numbers were changed when SML purchased the Louis Lot company, they run in line with SML serial numbers and not the old LL records. SML were known for producing high quality wind instruments and there are a number of flutes produced under the Louis Lot name. The Louis Lot company continued after Louis Lot’s death and changed hands a number of times before finally being purchased in 1951 by Strasser-Marigaux-Lemaire (SML). Eight key flute, red cocus wood, large holes, from 1858-71. His work was highly regarded and has been copied by other main flute makers such as Haynes and Altus over the years. Rudall, Rose and Carte, 20 Charing Cross, London, serial number 6225.
The Louis Lot company was started in the latter part of the 19th century producing a flute with a seamed tube. Stunning and rare Louis Lot solid silver flute from the last era (Strasser-Marigaux-Lemaire). Description Louis Lot Solid Silver Flute, Closed Holes (Soldered), Inline G, C-Foot (440Hz)
