I bought this lovely flute from Dave Copley in Sept 06. It’s in excellent condition, plays beautifully and has been well-maintained (regularly oiled, and given ample TLC). I’m asking $475 (obo) which includes 2 cases, a wooden case and a pistol case, as well as Grey Larsen’s Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle Timber Flute Tutor by Fintan Vallely, if you’d like them. This is a charming, versatile flute but I don’t play it very much anymore, so it’s time to find a good home and someone who’ll play it more often.
This one needs a bump today. I have one of these, bought used from another chiffer at the same price, but without the bonus extras. It was money well spent. This is a lovely, well-made, resonant, and very responsive flute. Highly recommended!
thanks for your enthusiastic endorsement crookedtune, I wholeheartedly agree with your recommendation! I’ve had a few inquiries from craigslisters, but as of now it’s still available and ready for a new home.
Another bump for this good deal. As a (maybe perpetually) beginning/intermediate player, I’ve been very pleased with my all-wood Copley. Rewarding tone, nicely in tune, and no difficulties tuning with others, feels good in my hands. I have a D/Eb combo, and I like both just fine. Someone looking for a first flute that might end up as a last flute should grab this.
