Olwell Bamboo C on ebay

Not my flute, but I thought someone might be interested.

I have a low C bamboo Olwell and it is one of the most enjoyable flutes I have ever come across to play, the sound is also amazing. It is easy to play but can give a wide range of expression. The one I have surprisingly uses little volume of air as compared to concert D flutes that I have and if you are into circular breathing, it is quite easy to do. I know a few players with them and none of them would ever part with theirs.

A rare opportunity to get one of these fine instruments and right now, I had to wait quite a while before mine was ready although the wait was well worth it.

These are wonderful flutes, but 5 days to go and it’s already up to $150? By the time this auction’s over someone will get an incredibly nice flute for an incredibly high price! That’s the problem with Ebay much of the time - almost always someone in the world willing to pay an extravagent amount for just about anything - and I’m not saying this just because I wanted that C flute… I think… :angry: - Tod

Well it finally went for $382.77! Some people clearly believe that these things are the hens teeth of the flute world. I think the seller did a fantastic marketing job in terms of creating a ‘maybe he’ll never make any more’ type hype.

Wow.

Well I could be wrong, but I think the seller actually is Pat Olwell himself. So he probably knows if he intends to make new ones… :slight_smile:

Now you come to mention it, I think I’d realised that and originally placed a bid… don’t know why I didn’t remember that with my previous post. Think I’ll go play my flute see if I can remember any tunes :slight_smile:

Wow, nearly $400.00? :boggle:

Matt, that’s a good point, and I’d say you’re right.
