I have an Olwell cane D flute I rarely play. It is the one with “Olwell” stamped on it. It’s in perfect condition and plays great.
I play a Casey Burns Mopane standard large hole flute and own a CB folk flute but I loaned it out quite a while ago and don’t want to ask for it back.
I’d really like to have another Casey Burns Folk Flute and would gladly trade the cane Olwell for one. I’d take an older burns flute of any type too. No cracks or any damage to the embouchure.
I have a few Burke whistles I could throw in if needed to make it a fair trade. I know Olwell canes have gone for several hundred on ebay, but I really don’t have a feel for their worth. I saw one go for 370, but that’s crazy…isn’t it?
I really want to do a long term comparison of the CB Folk and standard models just for my own interest.
I’m completely happy with my standard CB but was also amazed at how good the Folk Flute was. Mine had a great bottom “D”, better than most high end big name flutes I’ve tried/owned. It was also a very, very easy flute to play with very comfortable spacing. YMMV.

Well, you can sell the Olwell on e bay
and maybe buy a FFlute. Yes, the prices
are crazy, but----there they are!
You can sell the whistles on the whistle board, too.
