Has the flute always had threaded joints? Just wondering I thought Olwell was into corked joints? Looks like a fine flute indeed

That's a good question indeed as I don't quite remember myself..

I believe it was initially shipped with corked joints and I got it changed to threaded joints.

Is there a problem shipping to the usa? We know that CITES doesn't
cover cocus, if that has something to do with it.
