I have a lovely bamboo G flute by Patrick Olwell that I bought in the early 1990s and really never made much use of - it’s been all I can do to make myself a passable fiddler! This flute is going to waste living in my house. I don’t know a better place to try to reach some actual flute players than here. It has a lovely round sound and is not difficult to produce a tone on or to play in tune, even for a fiddle player. These bamboo flutes have not been made for a long time but everyone knows that things made by the Olwells are first rate. No cracks or other flaws that I can see.
I have a photo I could email to you. The flute is a dark brown and about 16 inches long. It comes with a red velveteen drawstring case and the original insert how-to-play sheet.
Asking $225 including tracked shipping in the US in a tube stuffed with bubble wrap (if you’re somewhere else, let me know and I will figure out shipping).
