Re: Wanted: Used delrin flute
Have you thought of one of Walt Sweets Shannon model flutes? Only $275 USD new. He will make it with inline instead of offset holes for no charge if you would like.

Re: Wanted: Used delrin flute
Thanks for your hint, Jay. I'd rather prefer a flute with a tuning slide. I've heard only good things about the Shannon, though. Problem is, it would cost me more than a new M&E if I bought one in the US. There's a German store that carries Shannons. Charging 329 EUR IIRC.
Keep your offers coming, fellas. Not much going on so far.

Re: Wanted: Used delrin flute
Yeah, 329 € is an surcharge of over 60 % (!) -- folkfriends, eh? Anyway, good look Christian! And keep an eye on the British ebay...
But it's interesting that Mr. Sweet would make them inline as well (though it makes sense of course). The offset holes put me off in the first place when I was looking for a delrin flute. But then again, even if the Shannon would be sold here w/ inline holes... 60 % ...

Re: Wanted: Used delrin flute
The Shannon flute is very easily tuned. The addition of a tuning slide would increase the cost of the flute by another $100-200, at least. Walt Sweet uses rubber o-rings on the flute and a thinner tenon so that tuning is no problem. The clearances are very precise and the flute is beautifully turned and plays exceptionally well. Even at €360 the Shannon flute is well worth the money. I have a slightly used one that I can mail anywhere in Europe for €275 (postage included).

Re: Wanted: Used delrin flute
I have a keyless Desy Seery Delrin flute I would part with. I am in Hamburg, so mailing it would be easy. It needs a new cork in the head, apart from that it's in good nick. It's a heavy flute and not easy to play though.
