I'm curious :P How much did you pay it? It's definitely too early for me thinking to buy one, but dreaming is free :wink: It's never too early to think about buying one--especially if you might want a keyed one in six or so years. I got on the list in 2008 thinking I'd want a Rudall but ended up ge...

Now that's a really cool flute.

I waited seven years for my six-keyed flute, and no, there wasn't a lot of communication coming my way until Aaron was ready to work on it.

The sheet music for "Going Home" is in the Dire Straits Live - Alchemy Songbook, if you can find it. Some overpriced copies are available through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Dire-Straits-Live ... 0898982758

Terry makes about 7 different models of keyed flute. Any idea what this one is?

In 2008 a rosewood keyless Olwell was listed at $850 with a 1 year wait. Prices may have gone up, but $2900? Really?

By the way, Brus, re. your signature: The bombarde is the only musical instrument that's both a noun and a verb. (Emily Dugas) Mme Dugas didn't think very hard about that. Off the top of my head, "drum", "trumpet", "fiddle", and "box" are all musical instrume...

To answer my own question, tickets for Chief O'Neill's are available here: http://www.irishmusicschool.com/pages/page9

Just to answer the original question, we hate the theme because it reminds us of that godawful movie.

I want those hours of my life back!!!!

I am so there at Chief O'Neill's. When do they start selling tickets?
