I am parting with this lovely Seery Delrin flute. It is a beautiful instrument with a strong tone, and I guess this flute has been discussed sufficiently in various threads. I bought it two years ago second hand, but after a few months of intense playing I find that it's just not for me. I was told ...

Thanks everyone for sharing. I'll definitely try out a few of these things, handlebar tape and medical tape being top of the list, I guess.
