I think you could use my Thunderbird as a police baton!

You could also check with Blayne Chastain’s Irish Flute Store if you’re interested in used. Great to deal with, fair prices, and ships fast.

If it's in Eb, wouldn't it be called a fife?

SOLD!

Selling the above for $175 all fees included (PayPal and shipping). Do NOT use "friends and family" - that violates the PayPal rules. PM here and see the C&F Facebook page for pictures.

Selling 2 “High Spirits” native American flutes in C-minor. One is the bass version and the other is the high version. They both come with individual elk-hide pouches. Looking for $300 (money or trade value) for the pair (shipping included). I’m willing to split them up for $175/$125. PM if interest...

I use Audacity for splitting into individual tracks - works great! You can then do equalizing, etc, fairly easily... Not sure why you find this difficult.
