https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6AvbSmszJeE It’s been posted in the last conversation we had about Laurent but I think it’s nice to see again. Michael Lynn is selling a Laurent w/ matching ivory Monzani. I think he has posted here in the past. I’d ring him right away if the lottery came in. http://ori...

How about some type of blue clear resin?
You could maybe still turn it as normal.

Just watched a Facebook video of someone turning a clear resin ball on what looked like a normal lathe.

The beautiful colour of that ivory chanter makes me think an all boxwood w/ boxwood mounts Taylor chanter would look class.

a Kiernan Bb (which I wish I had got to) and a Tom White chanter for sale but I was thinking older
as well.

Just interested to see what’s out there.

Wee F flute here. Only marking is “HIGH PITCH” on the body.
Got off eBay as the seller said low pitch F flute.
