FS: Grinter 6 Key Flute for sale

[emmdee]

Ah, Jayzus Westies - don't tempt me any more I really am thinking hard about buying it, but the Missus keeps telling me not to be daft, and to wait for the Olwell. To make it harder, I expect I'll have to pay more for the Olwell than your buy it now price, mate!!

I haven't actually spoken to Pat in detail about the G# key yet. Not piper's grip - far from it. I want to see about getting a long crooked touch because I find that standard short G# keys, such as the one I have on my Cotter, are impossible for me to use on anything but the slowest passages. What I need is a key touch that pushes towards the floor, rather than in towards the body of the flute. This is one I'll need to talk to Pat about.

There's still a few days left on the Bay of E...

Listen to your wife emmdee, don't be a daft.

[eilam]

m.d, are you talking about a G# key shaped like what McGee does?

[emmdee]

I don't know. I'll have a look on his website.

emmdee, sounds like you're talking about a "French" style laterally mounted G# key (see pictures of any French 5 or 6 or 8 keyer - go to the French section on Rick Wilson's site)- can be done in block mounts too - even was by some English makers on smaller flutes/piccolos where there wasn't room to mount it lengthways. Shouldn't be a problem to order.

[emmdee]

Thanks, Jem. I'm hoping it won't be a problem. Dunno if Pat would or could do it as a pin mount... I could care less if it's pin or block mounted, as long as I can play it!

Compliment to the Buyer, nice flute again!
I wonder if is more worthy selling/buying on the forum instead than ebay...

hard to say, but i would always encourage people to try the used board first... that's going to hurt paying the 10% ebay tax on that one.

cheers,

10% Ebay and the 3% paypal, which is a lot of money when it's that much.

wow ! i thought ebay had a flat fee?
i would much rather have a flute go to someone here then place it on ebay.
