Like new, wonderful Sweetheart F flute in Maple for sale. It’s a very nice player, as well as light and balanced in the hand.
So, why am I selling? I’m really just playing the D flute, when I can play at all, due to tendonitis. I thought getting a smaller flute might help with the tendonitis issues, however I’ve found, that for me at least, it doesn’t make a difference. So, I’m sticking with my D flute and letting this wonderful little F flute go.
$175 includes shipping. Contact me via email not PM as I often can’t access my PM’s from public computers.
P.S. I should have been more precise on one point: $175 includes shipping to U.S. destinations. Shipping will cost additional for non-U.S. destinations.
I will try to post pictures in the next day or two, as soon as I am able, but if you really want the flute don’t wait as I will sell to the first buyer who ponies up.
These are great flutes. A great bargain at the price. They nearly play themselves.
Everybody should have one. Everybody with a kid should have at least two of these. An F flute per kid – and one for yourself.

Well, have you ever seen a wooden F flute pitched lower than a D flute? Have you ever seen an F flute pitched higher than a D Fife? (Such a thing might exist but surely I’d have made it clear if this were that sort of rather unusual beast…)
a simple answer would have been suffucient ------- as i have not seen any flutes in the key of F on sweets site—only fifes-------i guess this is not my day -happy selling
Flute, Fife, in this case what’s the difference? This is a flute pitched in F between the standard D flute and a D flute/fife/piccolo, whatever. Cylinder headjoint, conical bore, just like a D flute, only smaller, but the Sweets called it a Folk Fife when this was made, so that’s how I listed it.
I only answered the way I did, because you requested the length, and I couldn’t imagine what else you could be imagining it to be
Must be that we’re having a communications breakdown…
As I don’t seem to have enough trouble in my life, I might as well step into the fray. In the Sweetheart Flute brochure the instrument is shown in the fife section and listed as a fife but is described as being “similar to the flute.” However, on the webpage, while still shown as a fife, at the sample download part of the page it’s called an F flute.
So there appears to be some ambiguity in the minds of the makers as to what to call the thing. The Sweets appear to have a broader definition of “fife” than is common among the members of C & F.
