Name and address in case?

Irish Flute
1

Hi

I don’t know if this topic has had a recent post but I know of a few flutes that have been mislayed recently but not retrieved.

It is good practice to put your name phone number and address into your flute case, maybe with a sticker or some such. I even go to the extent of putting a swirl of paper curled into the space between the button and headcork with this information. Lots of instruments get lost, I imagine that if the instruments owner can be identified there is a chance that they could be returned.

I suppose that this post could go onto any of the instrument pages.

Regards

The idea of putting contact details between cork and endcap is great. I’ll do that as well.

I will add 2 name & address… one easy to see and a 2’ inside the foam\velvet… who knows…
and it will take just 2 minutes… :thumbsup:

p.s.
We recently discovered that also Pat Olwell has phone no. and address inside his own flute case
and he is very happy about it!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

They also make handy ad-hoc business cards for when someone wants your contact info. Just be sure to make a new one to replace the one you give away. :smiley:

I like the paper in the crown idea. Maybe we should start a flute microchipping business. It would help if more makers would number their instruments …

Note that Patrick offered a reward for its safe return, and he did get his flute back. If your flute is misplaced due to THEFT, it might take some incentive to get it back.

I would be gald to pay some good GB Pound to get my R&R back home… (well, if lost obviusly)
“reward for return” added inside the case…

So I guess now the answer to the constant query “How do I contact Pat Olwell?” is “First, find his flute case. Then look inside.”

In a joking vein here. What do you think the chances are that anyone would believe that Brad Pitt would have a West Virginia phone number?

When I lose it, I’m usually hoping that none of the witnesses gets a good look at me.

I’ve, mostly, managed to avoid cameras…
