I have been dying to learn now to play a crystal flute for ages. I don’t own any others, but I finally got a crystal flute. I am a musician and keyboards/ piano are my primary instruments next to my voice. It takes a little adjustment, but it sounds beautiful.
I am sorry if this is an inappropriate forum for crystal flutes, but I thought I would drop by and say hi.
–edited to add–
You should be forewarned, that once you start on this dark path of flute-i-ness, there is no returning.
Once the bug has attached itself to your soul,
you will yearn for more - richer, darker sounding flutes.
Your body will ache for that bark that your current flute can’t give you.
You will beg the heavens for relief from the torment of poorly tuned octaves.
And when you have no money, you will build them out of PVC, like me.
Welcome. We ain’t not picky about the kind of flute you play, though some people won’t like it if you try to discuss the classical flute here. Were naught but simple six hole people here (and maybe up to five keys… and mabey more…). Still, you could probable even get a discussion about that.
PS. I had my digestive tract replaced with crystal piping, it’s facinating to watch.
That’s precisely what I’m afraid of. The place I bought my Hall Crystal Flute from is “moving out of folk music” and more towards celtic nice for people on this board it seems and it has those flutes on sale for HALF OFF! I’m seriously debating going back and getting the deeper toned D that I saw there. There are 3 left. And 2 smaller ones, a C and D. So I got this one, a middle of the road G, for $32.50. And the large ones, which usually retail around $80 are like $40. Seriously am thinking of going back tomorrow.
Don’t dare me. I am going to as soon as I get my new set of checks from my new bank account. Am out of temp checks. I switched banks this last week and am waiting for the new ones and my new debit card.
I got one of those Low D crystals for sale and some other flutes which if you buy more than one I might give you a special deal. Sorry I really need to get a these out of my house I have to many. Look for the selling to buy a Flute thread then PM or Email me.
Hey thanks for the offer. But I couldn’t pass up the deal I was getting from a local struggling retailer. They were taking huge hits on their crystal flutes and I couldn’t pass it up.
Sorry I missed your post! The store is called “Southwest Music” and it’s located on Menaul, just west of San Mateo by a Schlotsky’s deli. North side of the street.
