FS: Romy Benton Bamboo Flute in D Major on eBaY

Post by croberts »

eBay item 123021184264

This beautiful flute is 23 1/2 inches in length and plays 2+ octaves. The sound is deep and resonant with a good dynamic range. Intonation is very good. It has a wood (hardwood I think, but maybe bamboo) lip plate. It has a thumbhole in the back for playing C natural. I usually tape this hole closed and play C natural by closing the 2nd and 3rd holes as I find keeping my left thumb on the back hole makes playing a little uncomfortable. There are no cracks or other flaws that I can find.
Search YouTube for Romy Benton Flute and look for the D Major video to get an idea of the sound of one of his flutes. That is not my video and I only wish I could play so well.
