Well, I bought this a few weeks ago (thanks, Jeff_H), but I find I don’t like it all that much… It has an incredible upper octave, but the lower is a little weak/quiet for my taste. Also, since it’s a smaller diameter PVC, the right hand finger holes don’t agree with my fingers! It’s between a pipers’ grip and a regular grip for me. Selling it for what I paid $60 (including U.S. shipping) - and I prefer PayPal.
No, I haven’t talked to Mack about it, but I doubt that much could be done since it’s a narrow bore. Actually, I think it’s designed to be the way it is. It really is a nice player and the upper octave really does sound nice - it’s just very quiet in the lower octave. I was playing it again last night (when I got tired of my flute) and ended up kinda liking it again. In other words, if it doesn’t sell at this price, I’ll just keep it in the “stable” for the quiet times.
