3CONCERT-FLUTE, "Boehm Model," of ebonite, with German silver keys, closed g#. 1890. By Boosey and Co., who have kindly supplied the following description:—
5"The novelty in this instrument consists in the style of pad. Hitherto the centres of the pads have been prevented from bulging by being screwed down against a boss in the cup with a screw carrying a large flat washer. The pads in this flute are kept in shape by rivets and washers of aluminium, and the boss in the cup is dispensed with. By this means the pads are kept both very light and very air-tight."
