RUDALL ROSE CARTE & Co. PICCOLO WITH CASE.

 

Here is a Rudall Rose Carte & Co piccolo circa 1858 – 1871. It is in very good condition considering its age. It will need a general overhaul – corking, pads, and there is one broken key spring.

On the head it is stamped ‘RUDALL ROSE CARTE & Co – LONDON’ with a crown symbol above. On the body ‘RUDALL ROSE CARTE & Co – 20 CHARING CROSS LONDON’.Overall length = 315mm, sounding length = 258mm. I believe it to be in the key of D, in standard modern pitch.
