Well just an update to say thanks to everyone for chipping in.. I decided to buy a Shannon as Walt lives fairly close and I can get it right away.. seems like a fairly inexpensive way to see if my desire blossoms and then what do you know a collection may form in the future..

Thanks for the help..

Apparently I am not authorized to read or send PM's ?? so perhaps post here or email me..
Anybody know why I can't receive PM's ??

I have emailed Somers to find out whats up.. meanwhile still looking around..

Well yep buying direct is great except Somers is in southern Brazil who knows what the lead time is.. thats one of the reasons for looking for used.. I talked to Walt Sweet but he says it will be a year before he makes flutes with in line non "ergonomic" hole placing..

Yep only thing the Somers on sale is a Pratten model. Looks like I will go for a Shannon on and see how I enjoy getting back to the flute. Can’t. Beat the price and reviews are good.

Thats why I asked about a Copley Delrin.. I have been going back and forth but really good sense says that Delrin is the way to go... Just wondering where else apart from Chiff and Fipple and Ebay one might find a used Delrin flute.. Yep on opinions.. clearly I came here because thats exactly what I...

The other option I am looking at is popping for a Shannon.. Or the Somers that is for sale on the Used forum.. except I have heard that the Somers is a very loud flute.. Anyone ??

Yup I have been looking at that flute.. I missed a Delrin one they had last weekend... And you are correct about us newbies and fear of wood.. I read all these people who write about having to baggie their flutes and humidify and all this stuff.. Then I read Terry MCGee's website and he seems to say...

Wondering if anyone has a Copley delrin for sale.. ?? I am in NYC

Just want to point out that his ability to sing in English should be no surprise. He is second generation. ie English born citizen.

So heres another question, would a Copley blackwood be easier to play quieter than a delrin one..
