Hi Everyone:
As much as it pains me, I am selling three of my flutes that aren’t getting the attention they deserve. I am selling my Olwell D and Eb bamboo flutes (photos below), which I bought from Patrick around 2003-04. They are in perfect condition, have been oiled regularly, and are fantastic flutes, as most people on the C&F Board probably know already. Patrick isn’t making these very often any more. I am asking $350 for each, including insured shipping in the U.S.
I am also selling my Hamilton 6-key D flute, which I bought new from Hammy. The head joint was made for me in 2003 and the 6-key body in 2007. As you might expect, this instrument is a monster session flute, with large holes, plenty of volume, and a beautiful, honking low D. It is in fine condition, has been lovingly cared for, played and oiled regularly, and has no problems or issues. I have gradually been migrating over to a smaller-holed flute, and find myself playing this one less than it deserves. I’ve posted a few photos below. I am selling the flute, with a hard-shell French style Northwind case, for $2600 including insured shipping within the US. Basically, I’m selling the flute for what I paid for it and throwing the case in for free. The same flute and case, purchased new from Hammy today, would cost approximately $4000 with a two-year wait.
If anyone is interested in all three flutes, I’d be willing to talk about a package deal.
Please PM me if interested. Please do not respond to the ad on the board itself.
Thanks,
Paul
