RUDALL CARTE RESTORED CASE

The venerable firm of Rudall, Carte & Co. began as Rudall & Rose (1821–1852), became Rudall Rose Carte & Co. (1852–1871), and operated as Rudall, Carte & Co. past 1950. They offered a wide variety of flutes from the beginning, and were instrumental in manufacturing and promoting the Boehm flute and other cylindrical flutes in England.

Although Rudall Carte wanted one of their own fingering system designs to be adopted as the world's standard for flute, this was the most popular style flute ordered by flutists from circa 1870 to the turn of the century
