Tell us something.: I started with playing bamboo flutes. But I transitioned to primarily playing the Boehm flute a few lessons ago with the aim of getting good music instruction. However, I've been transitioning to playing Irish Traditional Music on simple flutes.

The mopane could be mistaken for some kind of rosewood, in which case customs could impound it.
That is good to know. For my reference, is there any real way to prevent that? (The flute is being made by Terry McGee; I suspect he’ll know what precautions are necessary; but it is good for me to know what precautions can be taken.)

Contact Terry and find out. You'll involve yourself in the process that way.
