John Webb

A silver, seamed tube, flute headjoint by John Webb. John Webb, who died recently at the age of 97, was an ecclesiastical silversmith who also made highly regarded flute headjoints. He collaborated with Stephen Wessel in making the tubes for his early flutes (branded Webb and Wessel). This headjoint, numbered 24, probably dates from the early 1980s. It is in very good condition with minor cosmetic imperfections commensurate with its age. The crown may not be original.
