I am selling my Jon C. delrin Rudall 5000. It has his decorated rings. This model has large holes, a medium bore, is responsive and flexible, and I used it as my session flute for a year. It has plenty of volume. The outside diameter is larger than some Rudall copies I have played. I don’t think I’d try this if I had small hands, but the stretch is in the middle of the flutes I have tried. The foot is a little tight. I like the flute a lot, but am buying Aaron’s Jon C. flute with medium holes for my travelling flute because it is closer to the Aebi I am playing now, and because I prefer the plain rings. So that’s my advertisement-I like Jon C’s enough to buy another, but I don’t need 2!
I obtained this flute from Hooveroff on this forum over a year ago, and paid $400 (US) plus shipping, and that’s what I am asking now. New price is currently $480.
Thanks for considering this flute. Please PM or e-mail if you have questions.
