This is an early keyless Olwell Flute in the key of D, Boxwood with a Nitric Acid Stain( which gives it the Amber color one sees on very old Boxwood Flutes). Patrick copied this Flute from an early RR Flute in the Dayton Miller Collection.. The Flute is 4 piece with silver rings. There is no slide, but the Flute is easily adjusted for sessions by pulling out the tenon. The Flute sounds wonderful and is an easy Player. The selling price is $800. I would ask that you contact me at my email address. I am selling the Flute to finance a set of small pipes

Well, no surprise the Flute has been sold, if others are interested though I’ll still hold on to offers in the event the purchaser changes their mind
Ben
Why would you want to sell this flute?
I think he’s selling as stated above to finance a set of pipes…you know, one hit and you’re hooked… 
Lemme guess, Jessie has already snapped it up…
Loren
Yep . . . one more flute to put in that big tupperware box thing.
Stuart
Tupperware?
Well, I associate you (Jessie) with a very vague memory of a big plastic box (Tupperware-esque) in which a lot of boxwood flutes were/are stored.
Was that you? Maybe it was someone else. Maybe I was blinded by the boxwood.
Stuart
Somebody’s most likely snapped up the flute… I’ve been sending emails since early morning, and received nary a reply - Tod
Ooops, see that it’s sold now… well I really didn’t want it anyway - yeah right

My flutes have never been in tupperware.
Stuart, if it’s boxwood and Tupperware it is probably I. Although it’s only three boxwood flutes. So far. (Haven’t needed the vessels the last couple of summers – it hasn’t dipped below 70% RH indoors since like April this year, and it was even wetter last year.)
Yes, well, lest your righteous indignation get the best of you, it was someone who had a Tupperware-style foot locker into which said person put the flute cases . . . you know, for stable conditions (humidity-wise).
Stuart
There’s a local gal who plays a beautiful blackwood keyed flute and keeps it wrapped up in a towell in a tupperwear container. I think she has a sponge in there too…moisture issues I guess.
Stuart, my righteous indignation, when directed toward you, has nothing to do with this thread, and you know that. I will never again take anything you say in a good way if there is a chance that it was meant otherwise. In this thread, you made a comment about my collecting, implying that I don’t care about my instruments. That’s hogwash. I love them, as people can and should love inanimate objects. Don’t you care about yours? You have quite a few also, I understand. I commented on the tupperware because I didn’t want my righteous indignation to get the better of me, and I was pleased to have a minor inaccuracy with which to quibble.
I will not carry this further. I have a busy weekend, full of get-togethers and positive real-life encounters. You are not worth it. But you didn’t slip under my radar. You are, indeed, an enemy of your own making.
I think displays of the collections amassed are a little distasteful, partcularly on a forum on which there are often posts from young and old alike who struggle to afford a single PVC flute.
The eleventh commandment:
thou shalt not rain on
somebody else’s parade.
I’ve always enjoyed these pictures, cause I could see what the
flutes looked like. I like pictures of people’s sportscars too,
always having wanted one.
The twelth commandment (or at least suggestion) is to
take Jessie as she is. Peace
I never wanted to make an enemy.
My implication was more that you’ve amassed a collection. And the person who kept his/her flutes in tupperware was taking better care of them than most people to (they were kept in their cases in a big tupperware thing to keep at constant humidity). That’s all. I like my inanimate objects too!
'Course, it all feels kind of sinful, liking possessions so much. Eh.
Maybe you should readjust your radar so you just don’t see my posts.
Stuart
Would that be Kara and her huge McGee?
I think she just went to work for Patrick Olwell, BTW.
FWIW, I might be the person ito whom sturob refers: I keep my flutes, in their cases, in a Rubbermaid Tote. (but NEVER Tupperware! 
!!!)
Also FWIW, it’s not a big tote; thus not too many flutes, but the cases do take up some room.
And the last FWIW … it really seems to be helping as far as humidity management goes.
xo,
cat.
Oops, just read the rest of this thread and caught more drift. Anyway, for $6.95, Rubbermaid totes are outstanding ways to protect the flutes I can’t afford (financially or emotionally!) to replace. And hey. If maybe someday I can swing an Olwell, cool! It’ll go in the tote, too.
Hey, Rubbermaid is a much better value than Tupperware! I highly recommend it.
Dana
Yes, that’s her. I don’t know her well and didn’t know she was going to work for Patrick Olwell…neat!
