I have just been given, what was called a piccolo, but having looked at your pictures, it appears to be a six-holed English flageolet. It has no mouthpiece, and I wondered whether it was possible to obtain the requisite mouthpiece and reed so that the instrument could be played? I play a clarinet and am a professional pianist—maureen swire moswire@supanet.com

This is a really valuable website. I picked up a Boehm-system French flageolet (no maker's mark, alas)in France this August and I'm having it refurbished by a flute-maker. Your pages have helped me to make sense of the instrument, and I'm looking forward to mastering it in due course. ATB Roly —r[DOT]p[DOT]scales[AT]gmail[DOT]com

I love your site - very clear to read and understand how to navigate around it. I am searching for references to the pipe and tabor, particularly from 1780 - 1830 for a talk I am giving in July. I am the archivist for The Taborers Society. Pleased to have found your site. I have met Charles Wells and all I know is that he has retired. regards frances—

In case anyone comes to this page with the same query as Christopher Birch, I thought I would post part of the email I sent to him here: As far as I'm aware, Charles Wells has taken down his site because he has retired from making new instruments. I did read that he was going to continue to service his instruments for a while but I'm not sure if that is still the case. Unfortunately, I think this means that there are now no French flageolets left in practice.—Jacob Head

Interesting site. Any idea whether Charles Wells is still present on the Internet? I can't find him and the link doesn't work.—Christopher Birch me[dot][AT]ec[dot]europa[dot]eu

A wonderful resource! I'm a recorder player putting together a program of 18th/19th c. czakan and flageolet repertoire and I can see that this site will be a valuable reference.—Aaron Minnick aarondminnick at aol

I see the website entered in my earlier entry doesn't show up as I imagined. So it isn't "mentioned below" (as I wrote) but clickable from the title of the entry. —Marc Schneiders
