Tell us something.: Here for a bit to get info on adding another keyed lefty flute to my instrument collection. Preferably something from a highly respected maker. Been playing since 2006.

Good point.

The delrin flute was also considerably more thick than my current flute (A Murray, which is notably slender), which could explain things but in terms of weight but also in terms of required grip.
My name is John. It is NOT "OP." :) :)
