If I wanted a flute to leave made up in all conditions, take away on casual holidays etc., I'd go straight for Delrin and not even consider wood, so the presence or absence of a tuning slide (which my Copley Delrin doesn't have) would be way down my list of priorities for such a thing....
Fair point, just saying that delrin flute construction usually allows for a bit more play with the tuning even without a slide, so another reason to go for delrin.

I apologize for how that sounded! I have also benefited from the range of experience and considered opinion on here, and if I didn't think the board were worth reading, I wouldn't be on it. However, on the particular subject of wood vs delrin, I would only trust a very few of the opinions expressed on this board - and mine would definitely
not be one of them. So you are right on that count too.
