Does anyone know the full range of keys the Olwell bamboo flutes were made in?
thankyou
Oh so you guys didn’t think this one was about putting little silver keys on a piece of bamboo? …me neither

not at all 
I think I’ve seen Olwell bamboos in pretty much every key from C below concert D up to high D.
I’ve personally seen:
Bb fife
A
G
F
E
Eb
D
C
I seem to recall from Pat’s old price list that he did Hi C and D piccolos as well…not sure. I don’t know if he ever did anything lower than low C (I seem to remember a B or Bb on eBay once). He may have if he lucked onto a long enough node o’ bamboo.

Thankyou ! I have managed to collect most of those you mention Doc. If anyone has high C or D or low C and you are selling I’m buying..I really like these horns. Doc if you’re reading I need some info. cheers
No way…
