I wrote that description before the repair. Both with my repairer we decided it was flauto d'amore. We wrong, of course it is a very long flute, but in fact a D flute with the pitch of 392. So an earlier one made about 1720/1730. A new element is about the place where Bizey was born ; " Bar sur Aube " he was married three times when he was in Paris and each wife was also born in Bar. So, Gaget was the first master of Bizey ? It is possible. So we are waiting the new data element which will prove it.
