Hi fluters,
I’m selling my Aebi Bb flute in blackwood. It is a wonderful instrument that plays easily over the entire range up into the third octave. Reason for sale is that I’ve got a chance to get a fully keyed Bb flute, which has been my dream for quite some time. The flute has a key which would be the Eb key on a standard D flute.
A professionally recorded sound sample of this very flute can be found here: http://www.trasnu.de/index.php?page=8 (“P Stands for Paddy” sound sample)
Here is a sound bit of “standard tune playing”, not professionally recorded and “first take” (as I’m in a hurry right now): https://www.box.com/s/a25c1a523f52442172ca
And here’s a photo:
I will replace the threaded tenons with cork at no surcharge if the buyer opts for that (I would have done that anyway if the “fully keyed Bb flute occasion” wouldn’t have come), otherwise the threaded tenons are working ok, too.
Price: I paid 1200€ for this flute to a very nice person, so that is what I’m asking, plus shipping and insurance. This is already a very good price and I won’t go below it. A new one like this costs almost 2000€. I prefer to sell within Europe to avoid customs hassle. Paypal only accepted if the buyer covers all the fees.
Let me know.
Cheers,
Gabriel
