I’m expecting in some new wood, and would like to jettison some old wood and other materials. All prices are in US dollars, payment must be in USD, all prices include shipping and insurance to the US. Overseas shipping extra. I can accept Paypal payments from bank transfers only, NO credit cards.
Flutes:
Hammy D flute in cocobolo. The Hammy is spoken for.
Glenn Schultz (Thin Weasel) D flute in cocobolo. No longer available, of course, I’m asking $900. Along with the Hammy, one of the two prettiest flutes I’ve seen. It has a mirror finish. I find this flute difficult to play, but when I find its sweet spot, it has a wonderful sound that’s quite versatile. It’s got a small Rudallish bore, very little taper, but large toneholes.
Mollenhauer c. 1900 six-key. The Mollenhauer is spoken for
I’m selling the Hammy and Schultz partly because I find them difficult to play, but mostly because I have arthritic hands. The Mollenhauer because I don’t play it.
Whistles:
Susato low-D. is spoken for
Harper engraved non-tunable D. Retails for $155-165, asking $125.
Harper G/A set (alto), one head, two bodies. Retails for around $265, asking $200. Harpers are designed similar to Overtons; all aluminum alloy, flat, broad, but narrow windway. High backpressure. I like the way they play better than I like Overtons; the sound is not all that different, raspy, but not quite the Cosmic Drainpipe. People comment on the lack of chamfering on the finger holes; I find it easier to get a seal on the abrupt surface, others don’t. I’m keeping a Harper C, one of three metal whistles I’m keeping. I love these guys, but they’re not wood, and I can clog a whistle at 20 yards just by thinking “Fox on the town,” and these whistles are somewhat susceptible to clogging.
Mail or PM with questions or interest.
