My Copley came in the mail today, it was sitting in my office chair when I got back from lunch. Talk about a treat for the weekend!
I was able to sneak a few notes, it sounds wonderful, unfortunately work is too busy right now for me to take off early.
My Seery is a fine flute, but I think this is going to be a nice jump forward. Hopefully I can keep up with the flute.

Mine ships in 10 days. Yeah!!!

Yes, you’ll find that it’s sweeter and stronger than
the Seery–louder too, a quantum leap in the
right direction. It seems to adapt to you,
grows as you do. Congratulations. Jim
Congratulation!!! I’m still lusting after mine. It’s due in September. While I’m waiting, tell me again how good it sounds.
Perhaps we should start a club of Copley AND Seery owners.

PS: Since my Seery is the one I keep lying around assembled all the time, I’ve actually found myself playing it more than the Copley lately. When I first got my Seery some years back, I had a lot of difficulty playing it, particularly getting the second octave properly. However, since becoming familiar with the Copley, the Seery has become much easier to play. Of course, when I do go to the trouble of assembling the Copley, I am reminded how superb a flute it really is.
Ha! I’m actually going to do the same thing, keep the Seery sitting around assembled for those brief moments I have free and play the Copley when I 'm playing for more than ten minutes.
The Copley sounds wonderful, I nice, hmm, what’s the word, mellow sound? I can see how it will take a few weeks and months to break in but it’s great already.
Eddie
Yes, Jens, my experience precisely with the
Seery and Copley–two flutes that seem
to compliment one another. Also playing
one helps you play the other.
I must say that all this talk about Copleys is making the wait that much tougher (August). It is very encouraging to hear all of the talk about playing both a Seery and Copley as it is the same change I’ll have to make. Seeing as that there is a relatively large population of people that can make the comparison I thought I’d ask a few questions
Do you find that you need a tighter embrochure for the the Seery?
Does the Copley have less “air noise” with the tone?
Are the right-hand stretches similar?
Is it relatively easy to switch between the two?
Any other tips to get ready for the flute aside from practice alot and try not to count the days?
Thanks, Peter
Yes, you need a tighter embouchure for the Seery.
Yes, the Seery has more air noise.
I believe the fingering is easier on the Copley;
also, it’s significantly lighter.
Yes, it’s easy to switch between the two, at
least I think so. Best
I guess the only way to get ready
is to keep playing what you have.
The Copley is easy to play.
I was going to write up my thoughts but Jim summed them up nicely.
So, ditto.
The Copley is amazingly easy to play. It doesn’t require very much breath and it feels like it needs a lighter touch over the holes.
Eddie
And it sounds sort of like it’s alive.
Hmm, alive, reminds me of the spider-man black costume episode. I hope my flute isn’t really an alien symbiote trying to bond with me.
That would put a damper on my day.

Perhaps its my embouchure but I make more air noise on the Copley than the Seery. Its not the Copley I don’t think.
