<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 4295868, member: 55&quot;]You did good on the photos.</p><p>I don&#039;t know a lot about flute manufacturers; There was an H. Eisenbrandt, but he was no longer in Germany after about 1811, so that seems unlikely.&nbsp; One thing you could check is whether the pads are in good shape.&nbsp; You&#039;d check for air leaks; and would need a friend to cover both ends while you press down on all the keys, cover the mouthpiece entirely while blowing into it.&nbsp; If it is air-tight, there is a good chance it would be playable without any or much repair.</p><p>Other methods for checking are at <a href="https://www.wikihow.com/Identify-Leaking-Pads-on-Your-Woodwind-Instrument" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.wikihow.com/Identify-Leaking-Pads-on-Your-Woodwind-Instrument" rel="nofollow">https://www.wikihow.com/Identify-Leaking-Pads-on-Your-Woodwind-Instrument</a></p><p>and of course, if you can play flute, just play it to see if a chromatic scale sounds OK, without any missing or fuzzy notes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
