Day three at the London International Festival of Early Music

Flutes and oboes! Get your flutes and oboes here! Sophie and Tony on day two at London International Festival of Early Music

Just in time for the London International Festival of Early Music next week, Tom and I have a finished Jacopo Checchucci model ready.
Really pleased with the gilt and ochre multilayered rose which is as per the original guitar. The main body is Blackwood and Nicaraguan Rosewood which does look rather fine. (Thinking about a Yew and Blackwood for the next one of these we make).
More details on Tom's website, www.tommillyard.com
See you in London if you can make it to the show.

It's been a busy year working with my son Tom Millyard developing a range of Baroque and Renaissance guitars which we will exhibiting at the London International Festival of Early Music next week.
Here are a few photos of his Baroque era Voboam guitar from around 1640, and a Renaissance model based on the woodcut from Guillaume Morlaye's music book from 1552.
Oh, and hopefully we will post pictures of his third baroque guitar by Jacopo Checchucci tomorrow when it falls off the end of the conveyor belt in his workshop.
It's been a nice change for me from the usual flutes and oboes, so we hope to see you at the show.

As well as our usual oboes, we will have a good selection of Rudall Rose and Pratten wooden flutes at the London International Festival of Early Music in a couple of weeks.
We will also have a couple of keyed flutes which Sophie has been working hard to get ready in time for the show.
Hope to see you there.

Sophie and Tony are working hard to make sure we have some lovely instruments to sell in a few weeks at London International Festival of Early Music. We'll be there on the 13th-15th of November with our wooden flutes and baroque oboes.

Looking forward to being at the London International Festival of Early Music next week. We have been busy making flutes and baroque oboes, so plenty of instruments to try out.
Really pleased this year to have my Oboe da Caccia at both 440 and 415 pitch. I have finally managed to get both models working with the same bell, so with two bodies and one bell you’re sorted for modern and baroque settings without having to buy two instruments.
Come and have a try of them - see you there.

Why don't instrument makers have long nails?

One of our second hand flutes has become available which doesn't happen very often. Its a Rudall Rose model in African Blackwood with Ivorine rings which was made about 10 years ago. I have given it a quick service and its in excellent condition.
Asking price is £425 which is a good discount on the current list price of £575 (going to £600 in 2024)
Message me if you are interested and I will put you in touch with the owner who is based in the UK.
