Update: It looks like I have reason to celebrate-I was just offered my Ward back!!! I couldn’t be happier! 
It seems I’m a lucky guy afterall! I’ll have to go out and buy a lottery ticket now! 
Hi folks,
I let mine go this past week, because someone wanted it-and guess what?!!! Yeah, I miss it already! Funny, I was leaning towards keeping it as “my flute” when I got a PM that this person wanted it, so I just let it go. That was my mistake-it played so easily for me that I should have kept it.
Seeing as Paddy doesn’t like making the Delrin flutes (like most flute makers), I thought I would just put out a feeler and see if anyone would consider parting with theirs first. I doubt it, but you don’t know until you ask.
Thanks!
PS I have a Casey Burns Blackwood Standard to trade if you are interested. See my for sale post about it here:
