FS: Gorgeous, Perfect, Wonderful Flutes
Posted: Fri Jul 30, 2010 12:10 pm
Unlike the last flute I sold, these 4 are gorgeous, perfect and wonderful, with no issues whatsoever. I need to raise some money. I'd like to be paid through PayPal. Prices include shipping to anywhere (insured in the US, not insured worldwide). Please email me: jessie AT madefromcoins DOT com. Without further ado...

Ok, here we go, individually:

Murray Blackwood D Flute with textured silver rings: this flute is an example of Sam's best work. Every detail is accounted for. Take a look at how beautifully the holes are sanded. The tone and intonation are perfect, the appearance is perfect. I am an idiot for selling it. SOLD

Copley Pink Ivory F Flute with all solid Sterling Silver appointments (tuning slide and rings): On one of my visits to Dave and Marlene, Dave handed me his blackwood F to try and it was m.a.g.n.i.f.i.c.e.n.t! I bought it on the spot (he was a little disappointed, as it was his flute, but he assured me he'd make himself another one). This was back when I thought that one of something was never enough, and I need three versions of the perfect F flute. I custom ordered this pink ivory one and the boxwood one below. I got them almost a year later (I am thrilled that Dave is doing so well that he has a waiting list so long). I really do love them all. The design (on all of them) is perfect. They are amazing players. The color is incredible on this one. And it smells great. This one has a bit more of an assertive tone than the boxwood one. I am, um, an idiot for selling it. $920.

Copley Boxwood F Flute with all solid Sterling Silver appointments (tuning slide and rings): See above. I provided the boxwood for this flute. I'd been holding onto it for years, thinking maybe I'd get a flutemaking workshop together. That isn't going to happen. But it's lovely wood. Somewhat mismatched, but you can hardly notice, because the patina is building up. A couple more years and it will be darker golden yellow-orange. You may remember that I adore boxwood (the smell and appearance). Another beautiful, amazing flute. This one is sweeter in tone than the pink ivory one. And...I am an idiot for selling it. $920.

Olwell Bamboo A: This was my first flute ever. Really. Well, actually, I got it with an Olwell Bamboo D. Through all the sales, I have held onto this one (for over 10 years). It has some green marks on it that have been there since the beginning (they always helped me to identify it). It's positively lovely, in every way. I am, well, an idiot for selling it. $420.
