This is a case in mahogany I made a long time ago to hold two flutes of my own, copies of a Grenser and a Bressan both made by Rod Cameron. The case had six slots, allowing each of the two instruments to be accommodated with only one of its centres, ie at only one pitch. This seemed OK as almost all playing work on these instruments is done at 415, a kind of modern 'standardised' Baroque pitch. Very inauthentic, of course, as pitches varied widely at the time - but needs must!

But six slots is not an ideal number of slots to have for a flute case as it means it is almost exactly a square case. This feels wrong, somehow.

The Bressan very quickly became my favourite flute, and is still to this day - the Grenser was sold long ago.

This case was made from maple for a friend. It features a book-matched burr maple lid decorated with a traditional harlequin patterned line and a walnut oval in the centre. Shown here modelled by my old friend, the Bressan.

I intend soon to do a standard, inexpensive 4-slot case to take any model of Baroque or early classical flute. This will be in walnut with a simple line around the lid and will accommodate a 4-joint flute with heart and foot-joints combined and one extra centre. Please email me if you would be interested in this and I will let you know when these will be available.
