The measurements, hole sizes, and embouchure of this flute are very much like that of serial number 6225 shown above. By this time, the Boehm system flute had largely taken over for younger players and in most orchestras, so Rudall and Carte were turning out only small numbers of these simple system flutes, probably. I have just acquired a Rudall Rose and Carte boehm cocus flute, serial number 6523. I was wondering if anybody having Robert Bigio's book, 'Rudall Rose and Carte, The Art of the Flute in Britain', would be good enough to help me date its manufacture. Cheers, John.

Rudall Rose, & Carte simple system flute register THE RUDALL & ROSE - RUDALL, ROSE & CARTE - RUDALL CARTE & CO. REGISTER This is an attempt to document surviving simple system flutes made by Geo. Rudall, Rudall & Rose, Rudall, Rose & Carte & Co.

And Rudall Carte & Co.
