I have a bunch of instruments (Copeland, Overton, and Silkstone whistles, Ralph Sweet flutes, a CHRIS WILKES flute, etc.), up for sale on ebay. Here’s a link to the site that has a list of the auctions…
That’s one beautiful, albeit conspicuous, flute. Is it the lighting that has produced the small fissure coming out of the right side of the embouchure hole?
I am selling the Wilkes flute because I prefer larger holes.
It is bascially a new flute. I got it new this year from Chris.
I do not have a sound sample. I know, also, that I cannot bring out the character of this flute properly. Pat O’Gorman plays a Wilkes flute in the Cape Bretton style, and when I heard him play at Boxwood (Wooden flute week in Nova Scotia) in July, I was amazed. That’s when I decided to sell the flute. I’ve finally gotten around to listing it on eBay.
