I kow the early M&E Flutes weighed a ton… how much does the newer RR model weigh?

Apparently 17.30 ounces.
Cheers.
I meant to have said… how much does an M&E RR without keys weigh… the one in the other thread I believe was with 8 keys. I had one if the early M&E’s, sounded great but I always felt like I was lifting an I beam. If you got attacked in an alley though this would be the Flute you’d want to defend yourself 
My M&E RR is heavier than my Burns and probably heavier than any wooden flute, but it’s not crazy heavy. it’s manageable. I’ve played sessions with the M&E, 2+ hours, and had no problems.
The average human arm weighs about 7 pounds, and you are holding up two of them when you play the flute. So I don’t think that a couple of ounces one way or the other on the flute should make much difference.

I’m not really sure I want to know how you discovered this bit of information. 
Best wishes.

My M&E R&R D-flute: 382 grams
which is 13.47 ounces
The polymer M&E R&R I think is about 15 ounces, a little heavier than the Seery at 13 ounces (same as a Hammy 6-key blackwood).

Thank heavens we don’t play flute with our thighs. Heavy.
Ah well, keep up the practice, and remember good old Captain Rebsomen:

See there, Ben Shaffer? It could always be worse!
You mean the moustache?
Best wishes.

What is that beside the good captain’s mic stand? A rolled up fingering chart? A bandsman’s clip on music stand? A souvenir silk handkerchief embroidered with La Marseillaise, Hearts of Oak, and The Derriere exploding from a massive tube of cork grease?
You guys are killing me! 
Terry, that’s a great picture, I’ve copied it and I’m going to frame it and put it above my music stand. That’s the worst haircut I’ve seen in years.
you try cutting yer hair with one hand
Denny, great point.
I think it was styled in the same explosion that cost him his arm.
