Hi.... if interested, I have a bamboo Olwell flute/fife in the key of A listed on ebay now. Nice strong sound, and of course in great tune. The link is http://cgi.ebay.com/Olwell-Professional ... dZViewItem

Thanks - Tod

If any of you folks outside the US want to bid I'd be happy to have the seller ship to me and then I'll ship to you. No charge on my part, just the actual shipping and insurance costs.

This would be reasonably safe as I already have a bamboo Olwell in A.

I have no connection whatever to this sale or to the seller. Just trying to be friendly and improve international relations.

Let me know if I can help.

Doc

Thanks Doc .... not that I'm an isolationist

, but personally I've had bad experience with shipping products internationally - items lost or damaged, particularly in customs - Tod

Happy to help.

I ship 3-4 international parcels a week so it's no trouble. The kids bought me a world map for my wall with those little map pins for Christmas. I'm up to 23 countries and all but three US states...much fun.

okay...gotta ask...which three states are holding out?

my guess for the three states would be: new york, california, and hawaii. the first two because i think folks from those states would have good access to whistles and flutes. hawaii because anyone who would want want one there might order from ireland or australia. that's just my guess. i love questions.

Oooh Mary is so close.

South Dakota, Wyoming and Nebraska. And on closer inspection I see Delaware is also missing a pin (couldn't see the little rascal). So I quess it's four states.

Sales seem to reflect population density of players rather than local avaliability (for example I sell a lot of stuff to the UK and Ireland). Tons of stuff goes to New England and other Eastern areas and a fair bit to the 3 West coast states.

I have a steady customer in Poland and once sent a flute to a guy stationed on an oil drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico. They flew it out to him on a helicopter.

So, Mary have you considered using your paranormal powers to be a police psychic or anything?

I had a blackwood Pratten Olwell that was broken during shipping between Spain and France 2 years ago...

Anything can happen!
