Metal fipple vintage generation ‘g’ on ebay. Six bids already, so I’ll bet more than a few C&F’ers have found it. Wonder how high this will go… here’s the link…

Only six days to go. This auction is running out! Hurry!

I think Musical Priest is Jens. I won’t bid against him. I couldn’t play a G anyway (fingers too wide). And is that flute ugly or what?

Just as a mattter of interest, can someone put a date to that style of Generation?

Before bidding, it might be wise to reflect carefully on how the seller proposes to sell happily to ‘all points of the compass’. :astonished:

No, Jim, actually it’s me. O dear, mistake, now you’re bidding again. :smiley:
And hell yeah, that flute is ugly indeed! But that little one, mmmhhh…

Cheers

The flute looks like a bed post!

You see these flutes on ebay all the time. Right now there are two of them on auction with a starting price of $9.50 on each of them. They are described as transverse flutes from Nepal.

Whenever possible, I also prefer to honor other C&F mambers’ eBay bids and not go against them. Don’t be so sure your fingers are too big, though.

I have one of these. Its hard to explain, but even though they LOOK the same as a modern Gen G, the fingers don’t seem as cramped when playing them. I can’t explain it, it just is.

Speaking of eBay, I saw where someone is selling a set of nickel Gens with a requested starting bid of $49. No bidders yet. Hmmmm… Could that perhaps be because Thom Larsen will sell you the same set for $34?
