professional plateau-keyed flutes?

No. I mean Left.

They are pretty uncommon, but useful.

There was recently a discussion on the Galway Flute Chat about them.

Anyway, they work by adding an extra rod on the body joint that meets a connector on the footjoint.

It basically looks like you have an extra Ab key.

I wanted to post a picture, but I couldn't find one ANYWHERE. But you see them occasionally for sale at fluteworld.com

What is this "Galway Flute Chat" that people keep mentioning, I feel like I'm missing out...

Go to Yahoo.com

Make an email account if you don't have one.

The Galway Flute Chat is a "group" that you can join. It is like a message board, but instead of a website like this one, all of the posts and emails are sent to your inbox.

AHA!!!!!

I found a picture!

It is a used Haynes. Open hole, inline G, low Bb [yes, B flat] footjoint, and a lever to activate the B key.

Here is a link:

And Ironically, it was indeed for sale at Fluteworld. I just overlooked it.
