I managed (during my pre-Xmas break visiting my dad in Spain) to squeeze out an initial demo of the [url=https://www.ellisflutes.com=]Geoffrey Ellis Flutes[/url] marbled Ebonite Pratten's Perfected style keyless flute I have for feedback/review. I'm not going to comment here on my opinions about it until I send Geoffrey my considered evaluation, and some of the playing here is rougher than I'd like, but I don't think I've done it any major injustice, and myself no worse than usual....

I respect people's privilege to hold their beliefs, whatever those may be (within reason), but respect the beliefs themselves? You gotta be kidding!

Sounds great! Also sounds like my Ellis, which isn't marbled, which no doubt explains why I can't play as well!

Marbled? Does that mean it´s a Wagyu flute?
