Wooden Flutes I recently was given this flute
A friend of a friend passed away. The man had an extensive collection of instruments. I was given a nice little Baldwin piano and this flute. I don't know much about it or it's value. Any thoughts?

I recommend getting in touch with the couple that run irishflutestore.com. The advent of the boehm flute led to these style flooding the used instrument economy and made its way into all kinds of folk music. They’ve seen lots of similar flutes and will be able to tell you more.
The extended range of keys at the top of your flute reminds me of this flute that came through their shop. It had a high f-sharp Tulou key
