Laurent's new design was also the first to employ all-metal sockets and a novel mechanical means of applying keywork. The Miller collection has eighteen glass flutes. It is curious that the first such instrument collected by Miller (DCM 0011) is the only glass flute Laurent ever made that features a version of the Boehm system.
