The former owner traveled the world as aprofessionalflute and piccolo player. She sold this flute when she entered aretirement home in the Appalachian mountains. M33These two images are of a solid silver Bettoney made for the military("U.S."engraved on barrel) with M33 marking on all sections. I assume amilspec (military specification) series was commissioned at some point,without serial numbers. It is much like the one listed above(withoutthe C# trill, knuckle wart or palm crutch) except the keywork posts aresoldered directly to the tube. Not surprisingly, it is muchlighter(457g) despite thicker tubing (.018" head and body), and the headjointtenon diameter is one of the largest I have run across (so far). The former owner's father acquired thisflutewhile in the military when older instruments were sold off at FortMcClellan,Alabama. I would love to hear from anyone out there who has acluewhen this "strapless" puppy was made!
