Welcome to the
David and Nina Shorey
Antique Flutes Homepage
These days we are concentrating on Louis Lot and his colleagues.
We are spending our time travelling the world, by foot and
by post, searching out the very best French vintage flutes available.
After inspecting many flutes from Northern Europe to South America,
we are very happy to have compiled a superb collection of instruments
that
meet our stringent standards of quality, originality, and condition.
We have chosen from around the world flutes by Louis Lot,
Bonneville, Rive, and a silver flute by America’s A.G.
Badger, Louis Lot’s contemporary.
These performance-quality instruments are all for sale.
We encourage flutists to try out these flutes, to experience for
themselves the incredible universe of tone that somehow got left
behind, even
as most modern flutemakers claim to have recreated it.
What is the mystique of Louis Lot? We strive to give you the opportunity
to discover this for yourself.
If you purchase one of our instruments, we want to be sure that
your experience is an enduringly happy one. We have been selling
vintage
flutes for 26 years this April. We have found new homes for
over 700 instruments,
all of them extraordinary, and the flutes were good too.
We welcome your visit, your potential friendship, and your
possible business.
