Produced by the esteemed firm of Rudall \u0026amp; Rose, established in London in 1822 by flautist George Rudall and flute maker John Mitchell Rose, this instrument reflects their commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnique features of this flute include its absence of a B flat thumb key, but the presence of baroque ring keys, and an open G# system.
