Chiff and Fipple Forums

I'd like to report that this flute is now off the market, at least for the time being. I've recieved a lot of enquiries, a lot more than expected in fact, but I haven't agreed on a sale with anyone. Two weeks have now passed since I've heard from anyone and since I made my last offer to anyone (ampl...

Update. I've removed the soundclips in my signature that were potentially misleading as being related to this sale. They where in fact played on a different flute. Since I've examined the flute I've also detected a few hairline cracks in the barrel, previous repairs that have opened up in the last f...

Hi guys. Long time no see. My long absence from these forums is due to the fact that I haven't acctually played a flute for several years, but as some of you might remember, I'm the owner of one of the few 19th century original left handed flutes in existence, more specifically the New York-made Fir...

Bump. I know there are lefty fluters here. This flute will serve you forever as a great backup, or the beginning lefty fluter who doesn't yet own a fancy Olwell/Wilkes/Hammy/Grinter as a primary flute. Give me an offer. I have no use for it since I've got other flutes I'm playing at every rare occat...

Welcome back, är du polis nu?

Bump.

I edited the price suggestion. Common now folks. There must be some lefty fluter looking for a first keyed flute, an experienced lefty who's looking for an awesome backup to his $3000 wooden flute, etc. I'll consider any offer.

Hi folks,

Haven't hung out here for ages. Hope you're all doing well.

I'm selling my M&E 5-keyed lefty flute with an extra headjoint. Look here for all the details: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=89239

Hi folks, I'm looking to sell my lefty keyed M&E flute. This flute has lots of goodies that aren't normally available for sale and it's an awesome tooter. I've used it for many years in gigs and sessions all over and it's a brilliant flute. Alas, I don't play flute as often as I used to, and whe...

Political BS. I have lost all respect for the Nobel prize. It waits 20-30 years for real ground breaking work, letting history give perspective, but it seems that it is not the wait for politicians. Not a comment on my approval or disapproval of our current president, just about the prize. Thank th...

Ah, it all starts to make sense now. I was confused about how much the american college resembled the swedish gymnasium, even though the gymnasium is the level below the university here. If I understand this correctly, most americans will go on from highschool to get an "undergraduate" edu...

emmline- Thats an interesting story. I know how it feels to be lazy and without motivation. I felt very much like that when I was in the Gymnasium (I graduated 2006, for an explanation on gymnasium see my original post). I had mediocre grades at graduation. Luckily we still have a system here which ...
