I’m getting the itch for a new flute, and am curious if anyone has a 4 key or 6 key flute (Eb key a must in the configuration) they’d like to swap for an M&E 8 key ebonite flute.
Polymer type material preferred, but not mandatory. Boxwood sure is pretty, and blackwood nice and stable, so I’m open to wood. Good intonation if an older flute a must. Nickel silver bands around the embouchure hole are a deal killer (causes my chin to break out…ouch). I’m leaning towards short footed flutes these days since I don’t ever use the low C/C#.
Nothing wrong with the M&E at all, no damage, all 8 keys work fine, can put up pics if requested. I just seem to go through a phase periodically where I desire grazing in new pastures.
