How muck you tink itll go for
1.256 US dollars it says here.
Interesting that this flute hasn’t been sold. Prehaps there are too few left handed flute players out there, and those that are, already have flutes. I see its’s been relisted, and there’s another 9 days to go. I don’t suppose it’s possible to use a left handed headjoint on a right handed flute body? I’m assuming that the embouchure "hole/edge would also be for a left handed mouth?
Hello… I don’t know anything about keyed flutes, but I do play keyless lefty. I assume the keys on this are designed to be played from that “backwards” position… how hard is it to learn to play with keys and can it still be played without using the keys ? Thanks for any illumination

Tod,
If you play left handed, you ought to bid on that flute man. Hell, if I had the cash, I’d buy it and take a chance on learning to switch hit, heaven knows it would be much better for my neck and back if I wasn’t always twisting to the left.
You could certainly play it without using the keys, might have to adjust your grip a little here and there, depending on how you hold your flutes now, but it shouldn’t be any big deal - unless you’ve got some really funky sorta grip happening.
Good luck.
