There is a nice article about the man himself here.
I had contacted Chris about a new head for my Monzani but have since decided to stick with the current head.
He sent me a price list and on it is a piccolo after Graves , a relatively unknown to me American maker who I think worked in New Hampshire.
I have not seen many piccolos from makers of the Firth Hall/ type flutes but have seen later German style piccolos such as those by Cloos.
I can't see Chris' work being anything but very fine.
From the price list:
A one-keyed piccolo after the American maker Graves circa 1830
……………………………………………………………………………..$1,700

Here is a photo of a Graves original from the Shoreys:
