Thanks Cab, although i'm not sure 'reprinted' flutes are on the menu quite yet, I thought I'd post a pic of my 'Pratten' model,(identical to fsharp's flute). In Delrin with Sterling silver rings/nickel tuning slide.

Tell us something.: I have been learning to play the whistle and my teacher recommended this site to me. I am currently looking to upgrade the whistle I have currently and would like to gather as much info on what other players are using.

Thanks for all the responses. A friend of mine has
loaned me his Copley to try out to see how I like it

Tell us something.: I restore 19th century flutes, specializing in Rudall & Rose, and early American flutes. I occasionally make new flutes. Been at it for about 15 years.
