Hi Folks,
I made a decision regarding the above flutes, An unkeyed blackwood in C, ie extended foot, should arrive from George Ormiston in 9 months. I decided against a Copley simply because import duty and tax would have added 20% to the price of both the flute and postage, somthing Dave Copley had warned me about. I’ll keep you posted! Thanks Again to everyone who replied to my original post.
Cheers, Mac
Good luck with the wait! Will be looking forward to hearing your impressions when the flute does arrive.
Nice of Dave to warn you ahead of time about the duty, btw.

Why in C? 
Hi Dan,
it actually plays in D as it is unkeyed, however if it had a full set of keys fitted the lowest note would be C. George Ormiston classes his unkeyed flute with an extended foot as C, his unkeyed flute without the extended foot is classed as D. From what he told me this is how Flutes would have been classed originally, before the Bohem style became the norm in classical music. This is the best attempt I can make at explaining, perhaps someone else could explain it more clearly.
Cheers, Mac
Ah ha! Now I understand! 
Using that basis, he would also classify my Copley as a C flute - i.e. long footjoint with unkeyed C & C# holes.
Hope you enjoy your new flute - be sure to give us report when you receive it!
