I'd be interested as well.

Thanks all! Sounds like I should apply almond oil to flute and skin

So I need some almond oil for my ABW flute. Amazon, for example, has a ton of different kinds. Anyone have a solid recommendation? Thanks.

Listening, listening, and more listening.

I thought Dave was going to offer to drive them to your door

Sold for about 13 hundy on ebay. Would love to hear some feedback on the flute from the winner. I was tempted myself!

That bursty sound is very Sligo. I think he plays a Rudall model so its a little more lighter/sweeter. Check out these two players you will surely like.

1. Paul McGlinchy
2. Liam Kelly (dervish fame).

Hi all - I am parting with my Copley & Boegli African Blackwood keyless D flute. Rudall model with tuning slide. Unlined head joint. This is an easy player with great intonation - well maintained, house humidity kept at 50 to 60 year round and oiled when needed. The flute was just sent to Dave's...

Price reduced - $650.

Seery, Delrin. Pratten, delrin, in your budget.
