Forbes Delrin Flute, as new to me

Just a few weeks ago I got one of Rob Forbes’ Delrin flutes, in D, along with both the standard end cap, which includes a fixed position head joint cork, and the screw adjustable end cap, just in case I should feel like experimenting. So far, however, I have only used the standard end cap, which works quite well.

Not that I needed another flute, but it is nice to have one which can travel with ease.

Actually, I have a lot of good things to say about this flute, but as it is so new to me, please give me some time before I could offer a more detailed assessment.

Otherwise, it is very well made, and I am delighted with its response.

And, while it has rather big holes all around, it is surprisingly efficient in its use of air.

In short, I like it!
