Letter from Gilles Lehart;
YOUR FLUTE IS READY TO SHIP!!!
Now theres a tune to put a smile on your lips.
Tom
Congratulations Tom! It’s hard to believe that 10 months has flown by so quickly. When is the tonal baby due at your doorstep?
Eric
Give us a review, please. Congratulations!
Congrats Blackbeer,
You’re going to love this flute. My Lehart is one of the best playing flutes I’ve met . Having an in tune flute that blew well changed my playing. Its smooth, responsive and easy between octaves. I rarely have those days when it just doesn’t sound right. I wonder if his embouchre has changed at all. The cut on mine is small and almost diamond shaped but still gives a huge sound. (I think mine is fairly old, unsure because I bought it used and it looked like it had been through a lot of use when I bought it.) Anyway enjoy, Patrick
Thanks guys, I am drueling with antisapation. Not sure when it will get here Eric. I figure next week some time. Wouldn`t this be killer, my Olwell bamboo should be due about then also. I may have to invest in a surplus heart/lung machine.
Tom
GREAT NEWS, TOM!!!
I’m happy for you!!!
Mary
Too cool TOm. Congrats! 
Doc
Indeed - fantastic news!!! Pictures and reviews as soon as you can pick yourself up off the floor
Cheers,

Tom, there’s nothing like a quality flute. I think you’re going to have a cow out of sheer enjoyment.
Drool, sounds great Tom. Is it a keyless?
Anyway, photos will be much appreciated. Also a review once you’ve become acquainted with the flute. 
Jens

You’ll love that flute.

Hey neighbor! Funny thing, just yesterday I got the Hamilton in the mail. I’ll have to stop by and see your new flute when you get it and show you the the Hammy as well.
Take it easy.
Hey,
I heard from Frank yesterday that my Seery is on its merry way! Lucky for me, it’ll probably arrive when I’m out of town, but my parents who are taking care of the pets promise to bring it in for me when they’re over at our house…
So Tom, is it there yet???
Eric
Not here yet Eric. Should be this week though. This is worse than the 10 month wait by far.
Jeez David I didnt know you ordered a Hammy. For sure lets get together. Ill email you when it gets here.
Tom
just for some of giles lehart fans, i recently order from him 4 keyed flute ( with short f, gsharp, bfat and e flat). he told me that flute will be ready in march 2004. it is very short period! before lehart, i also contact thomas aebi from switzerland, but his flute was to much expensive for me.

I wish I could hear that from Chris Wilkes. The waiting list for a keyless D was supposed to be one year and I still haven’t got mine, one year nine months later. Hopefully I won’t be a bleedin’ pensioner before I get it.
Dave.
No doubt the grossly overworked Mr Wilkes who is slaving away to meet orders at historical prices at little benefit to himself would be very glad to give you your deposit back !
Are you saying I am not entitled to a friendly little winge?? He said a year, it has been nearly two! No big deal. I know I can get my deposit back but I will obviously wait for the flute.
If you want to get serious then from my point of view he should never have taken my order if he knew he couldn’t deliver within (or even around) the time stated.
Dave.
Now now boys this is my joyous thread. There are enough Wilkes threads to vent youselves on. And besides I could never afford one of his flutes anyway. So Buzz off
Tom
Okay, Sorry.
Dave.
