on the lookout for a delrin polymer flute, Dixon three piece, forbes, etc, let me know what you got I am off to Ireland saturday and need something hardy, don’t
want to take my Delrin Hammy as I am in tent in a field, demolishing an old ruined building with an old friend, loads of mud, bricks etc etc, my request is for the uk
only as I have left it a bit late, initially I was only going for a few days, its been extended for two weeks now, I could take the Hammy but it will be in the tent during the day which is a few miles from the site, I would be gutted if it got swiped or damaged as I have seriously bonded with this beast of a flute, I did decide to sell it a while back and am really glad it fell through, so if you have a delrin or polymer flute gathering dust and are based in the Uk drop me a Pm, I would pay for next day delivery.
if you don’t find a used one, call Tony Dixon and ask him if he’s got a three-piece conical in stock (Tony???) for £140 plus PP, or if you’re in Devon… http://www.tonydixonmusic.co.uk/contact/index.html
Hobgoblin will do you the same for £159. Their site says they have 6 of them out in their shops and 1 in the warehouse… plus £3 postage, plus £5 if you need next day delivery (you could ring 'em and ask which shops in case it’s near) http://www.hobgoblin.com/local/GR2158-p-Dixon-Polymer,-3-part-flute-Page.htm
More expensive options than cast-offs I guess but if you don’t have a camping flute you might as well… enjoyed mine well enough for similar reasons in the rain and mud at Hardraw Gathering last week.
for some reason I thought the three piece Dixons were around £190 mark, I will give it a day, in the meantime I’ll give Tony a ring and see what his stock is like, as opposed to paying an extra £20 to Robgoblin
