This flute is still for sale.

Offers will be entertained

Did I mention I need the money for a concertina ?

A swop would also be entertained.
you have a Concertina 30- 30 + button, you no longer play ?
I have an 8 key Hammy I no longer play.

Matt, I got Hammy to make the head joint extra long, for resting ON the shoulder. You will see the great and the good, when playing, putting the flute INTO the shoulder, maybe when tired. I have understood well, from my clarinet days, the importance of good air flow, and while I don't play flute in ...

Kevin, the position of the Bb key, would be a throwback to my days as a closet clarinetist.
(1960, a whole other half century ago)

Or maybe you are thinking of the cute little cutaway to allow for the C bar ?

Hannah, these links should take you to Adverts.ie The shots are not great, but the flute has since been to Hammy, for padding, springing, and corking. you are welcome to come and see it anytime, as I said, I'm between Ballinasloe/Athlone https://www.adverts.ie/for-sale/q_flute+hamilton/ https://www....

See if this works.

As Ben said, it's strong. The extension is for my benefit as I never learned to play/hold the instrment "properly" You'll see the great and the good leaning the flute into the shoulder, I assume when, 2 hours into the session, the arms/head get tired. I believe, from my younger days, on cl...

I was asked about the age of this flute, and if the C foot weakens the bottom D The flute is about 8 years of age, the bottom D honks like an effen mad thing. But that may be just my savage playing.
