Damn, Dave! You should have just packed it up and shipped it with some lightbulbs.

Keep the economy moving. Give in to your desire. Consume.

Yep, good stuff. I use them as well for my business. I actually had already bought future contracts on the $A to hedge my bets against the USD. To make money actually, not really to hedge. Nice return over the last 6 months in all. I was just thinking about the relative price for that flute vs what ...

Hey dudes, Communicatd with Michael G about the cost for the flute. He and his wife are such wonderful people!!!! But.....His stance is that the exchange rate at time of SHIPPING holds, not the exchange rate at time of deposit. Is it worth it to spend US$4.5 for a new grinter cocus flute in Aug this...

Cramped tongue? I also had this, but my wife was the one to complain the loudest. :roll:

Definitely...Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits. Need an 8-key for that.

No kidding, Henke! I'll sell my awesome Rudall with Patent and McGee headjoints now for Eur 5000 for the European that wants it!

Hey folks, since average people talk about things, let's talk about flutes. I was just looking at current exchange rates, and if my 8-key Grinter flute (ready around Aug) was ready today to ship, it would cost me USD $4065 with today's strong Euro!!!! Wow.

C-nat's are a bear, especially if you play az few flutes, each with different preferable fingerings for the C-nat. Pretty much the reason why a C-nat key is preferable--sounds right on with any good flute, and for fast tunes, just cruise by with the OXX fingering...and on my flutes that's plenty goo...

Well said, Big Tex!

Well, I hope he does. I love his arrangements.

No worries, Stone. This IS the forum to talk about these things, even hardship.

OT: Anyone been following that Cannibal case in Germany? Oh my, oh my. But assuredly, this is definitely not the forum to discuss THAT.

Hey peoples, what's going on with Larry Nugent these days? Heard he headed off into the drink and is off the scene. I'vew spent more time learning how to play flute from his CDs than anyone else's, and I'm looking forward to another. Who's got news? Glauber, my main Brazilian man in Chicago, you are...

Hey Fellas, sorry for the wait...I've been freezing my tail off in the Seoul afterhours nightclubs for the last week and still can't see straight from the whisky and Asian male entertainment. Stuart, you're always a trip! About Dizis. Sure, you can play Irish music on a Chinese flute or Chinese musi...

" I live in Sweden...I turn off my heating during the winter. Man, that steampacket must have some serious armpits! Sweden is COLD in the winter. Do your fingers ever freeze to the flute? Just kidding with you, man. when you tell me that your taking your flute up to the Ice Hotel up North, the...
