Hi. Anyone know who currently makes a good F flute? I found one mention of a Byrne F flute, but I’m not aware of any others (except for Olwell Bamboos).
Thanks for the info.
P.S. If anyone has an F Olwell Bamboo they’d like to part with send me an email (bretton@yahoo.com).

I know Doug Tipple makes a PVC F Flute. He makes great Flutes I will give you a link http://home.earthlink.net/~life2all/dougswebspace/ his Flutes are recommended by lots of memebers here. It is compareable with the Olwell Bammboo from what they say (I have never tried an Olwell Bamboo thast is just what I hear). I own a D Flute from him and will probably be getting a Low C from him soon.
Dave Copley’s F flute is nearly ready now! http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?t=29129&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
According to AndrewK, Chris Wilkes makes a copy of his F Rudall & Rose.
M&E makes polymer F flutes, probably very nice flutes, and inexpensive.

Skip Healy also comes to mind.

i have a keyless blackw/silver healy f flute. rarely played, i have not played it at all in the past 7-8 years. i am willing to sell it - cheap. pm if interested. excellent condition/ no cracks.
I only got to play the prototype a little but did get to hear John S. take a few turns on it – from what I can tell, David Copley’s F flute ROCKS!
I guess Ralph Sweet does, it is under his Folk Fife section.
