I am offering this flute for sale;
An Olwell Bamboo Low C
These are rare beasts, since Patrick Olwell only occasionally offers new ones and the single nodes of bamboo required for the Low C are very hard to find.

Like all Olwell bamboo flutes it is impeccably made and produces a beautiful deep warm tone.
Cylindrical flutes require an adjustment in technique to play in tune compared to conical flutes, and being a low C the stretch is of course greater than on a D flute.
I have average hands and have never had issues with the stretch.
Have a look at some more pictures in this album (including side by side with a conical D flute).

Price: DKK 4300,- (approx 650USD) PLUS shipping/fees
I will accept PayPal and bank transfers and will ship internationally by UPS or other trackable service
There is no case/bag with the flute, but will be shipped securely.
Serious inquiries by PM or at runemeijer(at)gmail(dot)com
Cheers,
Rune
