Mary, they do indeed come in blonde but could I interest you in our Christmas special in white? As for sporrans and such that's a silly idea, there is a small pocket on the back for corkgrease and swabs.
Unfortunately there has been such a demand that the waiting list is 5 years. But we are doing a moustache only version that can be yours in less than 6 months :party:

Are they one size fits all? Or must I buy one each for Bb, D, and Eb flutes?

I checked eBay, there are no pre-owned flute-beards on there yet :(

I bet Joanie Madden's flute beard would fetch a handsome sum on eBay!

Gary, they are fully adjustable, there is even a whistle clip included in the set.
There is one of our test models available on e.bay at the moment.

Joanie, has a flute beard on order, but we have had problems with Boehm mechanism getting snagged.

Tell us something.: I love Irish music! I am mostly a whistle player but would like to learn more about flutes. I also have a couple older whistles I'd like to sell and maybe pick up a bamboo flute to practice with.

If I grew my nose hair real long, would it serve the same purpose? :lol:

I think remarks about snot are rather tastless, tho by coincidence we do use that old fluters standby otter snot as our main adhesive.

Thank you, thank you, thank you treeshark for the best thing I've ever seen! I'm cancelling my testosterone order and putting in for one of your summer-weight models right away. Also, my fiddle-playing fella was wondering about the efficacy of using one as a pad for his chinrest?

I'm afraid you might have to re-order the testosterone. I am afraid the Flute Beard Corporation has gone into liquidation. This was due to over investment in the failed Fiddle Beard project and the company owner drinking the profits

I fear things may have progressed from bad to worse. There has been a suspicious explosion at the toupé factory where the Flute Beards were being made. Police are combing the area ....

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.
