I’ve got a Marcus Hernon Grenadilla D flute (fully lined head), for sale or possibly trade. Marcus is currently charging 600 Euro (about $720 U.S.) for his flutes, with a six month waiting list. You can find more info on these flutes, as well as sounds clips and a wonderful video clip of Marcus playing one of his flutes here (click on the “My Flutes” section):
The flute is in excellent condition, and includes a hardwood case, also made by Mr. Hernon.
I’m open to cash offers or possibly a trade - I’m particularly looking for a Blackwood or Cocus Murray, or perhaps a Lehart, but would also consider trades for other makers flutes, with or without keys - including Cotters, Hamiltons, Olwells, Wilkes, and the like (obviously I’d expect to pay the difference in a trade for a significantly more expensive flute). Anyone out there have a Wylde they want to trade?
I’d also consider trading for a good F or Bb flute.
Send me a pm if you’re interested in making a cash offer on the flute, or feel like doing a little horse trading
Hmm, no interest, eh? Hard to believe no one has anything interesting to trade, must be the Hernon isn’t so interesting to folks… I’ll even consider interesting flutes in need of repair (no nach Meyers, thanks )
On the cash side, perhaps I should have listed an asking price, so… $550 plus shipping, anyone?
Will you say something more about this flute?
I’ve never seen one of these. Is it lined?
Slide? Rudall/Pratten/whatever? What does it
sound like? Bump.
I would just love a flute like that, but unfortuinatly, i just spend most of my money on Christmas gifts for other people, and the only other flute I have is a Tipple…oh well, another one will come along when I am more finantially endowed.
Well, I’d be interested, except that I’ve got a flute on order from Terry, and my wife would probably cook me for Christmas instead of a turkey if I bought it. Marcus can really make one sing.
Jim, here’s a link to a video of Marcus playing one of his flutes:
Thanks. So, gang, what do these sound like? I’ve
done some searching and there are some positive
reviews, but more would be welcome. PM me
if you feel hesitant to post here. Curious, as ever. Jim
Will also consider trades for a good quality acoustic guitar, breedlove mandolin, or certain shop tools… Anyone got a Southbend Metal Lathe or a Bridgeport Milling Machine they wanna get rid of?
Jim, you keep asking what the Hernon flutes sound like, but two of us have already posted the link to a site with sound clips, what gives
I’m on mostly in the library, where I can’t listen to anything.
Also I find that every flute sounds good in sound clips.
I did just now listen to them–it certainly seems to have
a strong Rudall sound.
Wow! What a great sounding flute! AND did you check the view out that kitchen window? I’ll bet he spends lots of time there - I would.
I noticed the handkerchief on his thigh. Guess he wipes the flute down after playing - or maybe to catch the flow off the end?
Loren’s flute will make a great Christmas present for someone - get your spouses to check out this site and plead a bit, weepy eyes, you know the routine - if you have kids!
