By chance I came across this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01ndELCxHzk
It's flutemaker F. Baubet, currently living in Ireland presenting one of his flutes. I like the sound of this particular flute. Anyone having experiences with this guy and his flutes?

Hi,
I play on a François's flute D Blackwood and keyless.
I'm very satisfied a strong low register and a high register rich in harmonics

can you elaborate a bit more, please? Is it an easy player? Lightweight or heavy? How does it compare to your Lehart (I assume) in your avatar? How about intonation? Thanks.

Re: Flutemaker Francois Baubet
Solid guy, great maker, great to deal with. Rock solid guarantee of satisfaction, no matter how many weeks you've had the flute. He doesn't want to think that there might be a player out there who doesn't like a flute he made. His price for a beautifully made four-key flute is ridiculously low. Email me for details.

Re: Flutemaker Francois Baubet
I am going to be picking up a Baubet Delrin keyless flute with the larger 60mm silver rings this June whilst I am in western Ireland. Matter of fact, I will be lodging almost walking distance from Francois's shop in Enis. I am very excited about adding this instrument as my 2nd flute with my Windward keyless Olivewood flute.
I agree with others here about his very reasonable prices for not only his keyless flutes, but most especially his keyed models as well. I must admit I would love to have one of his fully keyed African Olivewood flutes too. I seem to be getting instrument POOR........LOL

Re: Flutemaker Francois Baubet

It means you keep your harmonicas in a cash register on the top shelf.

i interpreted that to mean that he is able to play the high notes and have good timbre with this flute

Re: Flutemaker Francois Baubet
I don't get why one would need an Eb key without a Bb key. Maybe not "to play in the key of Eb and Bb" but for venting or some other uses?

Re: Flutemaker Francois Baubet
many flutes cross finger Bb quite well
Eb not so much

Re: Flutemaker Francois Baubet
Exactly. Bb is done quite Well with XOX XXX in low register and XOX OXO in high register for instance. And for users of the piper grip, thé Bb and C keys are not vert handy.

These flutes look real nice! Great price too.

Just to return this thread to life:
Has anyone of the posters above (and others) received his Francois Baubet flute? Impressions? Opinions?
I'm just thinking of ordering a keyed one.
