Nice work on the E-whistle ... sounds lovely!

Grinter six keyed flute, Australian Lancewood, solid silver keys, made 2012. The wood and silverware are pristine throughout, no cracks, leaks or scratches. The flute has been played-in but has been only lightly used due to a number of operations on a damaged wrist. I have had this flute from new. ...

Bump. Reduced to $825 (includes insured shipping).

Still available (bump).

I purchased this from the IrishFluteStore about a year ago. Lovely player, but I now have another flute that I play more often. The flute had the G# and Fnat keys when I purchased it - IrishFluteStore said they were added later, but I forget by whom. They work well, though, and are a nice addition. ...

I have a Carbony high D that I really like. I'm not a fan of high-backpressure or really loud whistles, so like you I was disappointed by some more expensive options myself.

Someone from our local session was in Chicago recently and went to the Tuesday night session at Chief O'Neill's - said it was great!

Strange comment when I'd have said it was the norm among the quality makers who offer them! Hmmm ... yes, true. That was my subjective preference speaking. A more accurate way to say it: I like all the keys I've tried equally, which hasn't been true (for me) with any other maker. (I've tried Hans B...

I'll second the comments Lars made about Löfgren whistles. I have an alloy D, C, A and G and they're all wonderful. It's unusual to find a maker who excels at multiple keys. Personal preference is a factor, as always, but these suit me perfectly.

It's the Sailor's Wife (in Dm, I think).

Not that I noticed.

Dropping the price again, although I'd rather not go lower than this for personal financial reasons. $400 + $15 shipping to US.

Thanks!
