For those following the never ending delivery of my flute, it has ended. I’ve got the black beauty in my hands and I’ve already used up my 30 minutes of playing. I’ll say more after I get to play it more, but I just wanted to let everyone know that it has arrived. Hurray for me! 
Now off to the store to get some bore oil.
Jack, that’s so great!
Now it’s my turn to eagerly await the arrival.
Best wishes, and honk the hell outa that flute!

Jack, come on, the makers break in time is just a recommendation. When it says 30 minutes, what it really means is 30 minutes before you get some water use the bathroom and come back to play for another 30 minutes - and another - and another

Jack:
That’s great news! I think Hammy shipped mine a day or two behind yours, so I hope to be put out of my misery soon too! We’ll compare notes shortly.

Congratulations Jack! Enjoy it! After this endless waiting time, I really hope you will like this flute.
Hey Murphy,
When did you order your flute (i.e. how long was the wait)? I’ve got one on the way and was curious what Hammy’s “actual” wait time is like.

hey guy, just wondering when Hammy shipped your flutes. He shipped mine last Monday and I am still eagerly waiting. The holidays have probably bogged the shipping companys down big time. Any way my flute is a used one but its new to me.

I ordered mine in April. The wait was about 8 months. It was ready on the 22nd, but the package was “illegible” so it got sent back to ireland. It finally got here the other day so it was in the mail for about a month of that time so he isn’t too far off. Hope yours get there on time.
