... am parting with this lovely Seery Delrin flute. It is a beautiful instrument with a strong tone, and I guess this flute has been discussed sufficiently in various threads. I bought it two years ago second hand, but after a few months of intense playing I find that it's just not for ...

... maybe have a go at some Hotteterre, leclair etc. I find it hard nowadays to cover the bigger holes on an "Irish" flute due to having had hand surgery, so I thought I'd do better with the smaller traverso holes. I'll give it a couple of months, then, if no joy, back to my Boehm system! ...

... haven't really thought that far ahead. Is there a price that you are thinking about? I am mostly in the process of finding or trading for a small-hand, ergonomic version of the same flute (as well as looking for a good Delrin flute). Do you have one to trade or sell?
