Seery polymer 4 piece-for sale

About 8-9 months old, as new condition, with as new case, not a scratch on anything. Bought in Ireland from Custy’s. Headjoint, barrel with tuning slide, body, footjoint with two venting holes, silver rings. I cannot get used to this flute, as I am mainly an old time Boehm system player. US$425.00 plus US$15.00 (about) shipping. If you are in Canada or U.S. no taxes or import duties as I can post directly to you from either country.

I’ve never had a chance to try one these, but I was considering putting it on my Christmas list. Since you have one, can you please tell me the spacing of the tone holes? I’d like to get an idea of what the finger stretch is like.

Thanks,
Bob

From the top down hole spacings center to center are;
c# to A = 35 mm.
A to G = 37mm.
G to F# = 54 mm.
F# to E = 32.5 mm.
E to D = 39 mm.
The only two spacings that I think may cause some people trouble are on the right hand between the D and the E holes and on the left hand between the G and A holes. On the LH between A and c# seems to fall naturally enough under the fingers so I think this 35 mm should not be much less anyway. Both the E and the A holes are 11mm diameter. This is quite large and again I think the A hole to be no problem for most people as it falls easily enough to the second finger on the LH but the E hole which is covered by the RH second finger takes a little bit of time to feel really comfortable covering, in my case about a week I think, I suspect that if you have normal hands the RH stratch between E and D will take about a month to get used to and then, like myself, you simply won’t notice it any more. I like this Seery well enough it’s sound can be actually quite beautiful for airs as well as plenty loud enough for jigs n’ reels, and may buy another one but I should have got one with keys in the first place. I need them. Seery’s are surprisingly well made, no shoddy workmanship here at all.

I can’t speak highly enough about my Seery, and I know I’ve done so often and well on this board so I won’t bore anyone again…except to say - well made, beautiful looking (nearly impossible to distinguish from blackwood), great tone (both played daintily for aires or classical or roughly for that dry Irish sound), nearly indestructible, and a handy weapon in these uncertain times… :laughing:

I get by fine with half-holing or cross fingering for all but the D# - which is why I’m planning to get one of those stuck on in the near future.

Thanks for the info Tom. If it were closer to Christmas, I would definately be interested, but I still have to make the money we’re going to spend on gifts. :slight_smile:
