Transverse flute in B-flat

This instrument was probably used by the Randwick Wesleyan Chapel Band. It is a side-blown flute made of dark wood, in three sections (head, barrel, and body joint), with nickel-silver ferrules and keywork. It has four saltspoon-cup keys mounted in blocks (two missing), with flat steel springs attached to keys. The head is lined with brass and has a large circular embouchure hole. The head cap is missing. Nominal pitch: A.
