That is so cool.
That is a strikingly lovely flute.

I wonder if Hammy really prefers to play Delrin as stated in the add. I like the stuff, and I think Desi Seery prefers it.
Edit note: Hey, I’m finally “in” with the in crowd if Hammy’s delrin preference is true…
Eric
don’t drop it in the snow…
lots of Hammy’s for sale what’s up?
Careful Eric, the add says he has one not that he prefers it. ![]()

I’d really love to have a Hammy, anyone want to trade, or trade plus $?
I can only get one if I get rid of one, and they’re all such great flutes!
I remember hearing that one of Hammy’s favurite flutes is an Eb he made for himself in some strange, bendable delrin material. I think that’s the flute you can hear on the WFO1 cd.
Hammy once made a flute out of nylon, I believe, which is bendable.
I have a Delrin Seery; it doesn’t bend.

To use an ancient Scottish turn of phrase - “That is pure boggin’”
Why anyone would want a white flute is beyond me (but live & let live, I guess). I have no doubt that the flute plays beautifully but it’s a bit like buying a pink Ferrari - you just don’t do it - you get a red one, or a yellow one at a push. With flutes you get a black one, or a boxwood one if you like. Everyone knows red cars go faster!
Just so you all know, my Ferrari is red… But it really belongs to my 3 year old son, and is only 1:43 scale - alas!

I think it is pathetic seeing people ( and some of them grown adults ) go all gooey just because a piece of plastic is white rather than black.
( White may be OK for cute clapboard cottages in Virginia or wherever but pretty tacky for a flute. I fear that it is rarely appropriate these days for bridal gowns ! )
I hope you don’t choose your politicians like that.
God knows how you do choose them, though, seeing what you end up with !
I suppose it is the old problem of if they want the job they are not fit to have it. !
Are we to understand that Mr Hamilton made a white flute for himself, ( in which case the one on offer is not unique ) or merely a plastic one ?
Strange that it’s unique, specially-made-to-order at additional cost to the purchaser… who presumably specified exactly what he wanted, and who’s now selling it simply because he has ‘too many instruments.’
Meanwhile I wait patiently in Hammy’s list with only a few months to go. Sigh.
Oh thanks Doc…shatter my delusions of grandeur! ![]()
Andrew - don’t you think the white mimics a nice, new Ivory flute? Not my thing, but I can see some folks liking that. Perhaps if soaked in some nice warm tea it would take on the lustre of old ivory?
Eric
Feh!

Do Hammy flutes come in pink?
That’s either wonderful photshopping, or an affront to heaven. Assuming they drive Ferraris in heaven.
God probably bought Aston Martins until they were taken over by Ford.

Well, you know, white is SO very 1990s. The seller probably ordered a new one in “celery” or “sage” or “persimmon” or something.

Now, if we can only get our Mr. Tipple to put rings on his flutes, they’ll almost look like this one!
Whaddayathink, RD? You think you could squeeze some sort of rings onto your flutes to give them a more "authentic’ look? Perhaps I can just get some "sticky foil, and wrap it around …
Hmm .. this could be fun.

I didn’t know Hammy made toilet fixtures. Maybe he could design my bathroom.
All kidding aside, I’m sure it has great tone though.
Cheers,
