I was restoring a very nice flute made by a maker called Goodlad. His workshop was at 25 Villier’s Street, in London and that was an address where a lot of very famous flute makers worked, and some very fine flutes came out of that workshop. When I’m restoring 8 keyed flutes, people generally want the low C key to work, so in reality I came up with this tune as a way of testing out the low C on a flute.
