Re: Bargain Flute
Those 'Made in Pakistan' flutes were being 'offered' at about £120~140 previously, but I heard that they weren't properly in tune, (on here, I think) - so I will avoid buying one - & just stick with my Delrin that I have on order.

Re: Bargain Flute
For whatever reasons, I don't see the misspellings. Maybe my localization or brain are whitewashing them out.
[Edit: My wife pointed out some of them for me. So I guess it was my brain whitewashing them out. I thought that the spelling was "hiqh"er quality that it really was.]
I first thought the image was too big to repost, but, oh my goodness, look at those corks and tenons.

An astute position. I would also further point out that there's no such thing as "Irish rosewood".fatmac wrote:- so I will avoid buying one -
Spelling and grammatical gaffes aside, if the terrible condition of the flute in the pic weren't enough to set you packing, check out this page from the same company:

One wonders about their commitment to actually doing real business. TBH, I smell a dummy corporation.

Oh come on. She left the handbag on the chair, and has just left. It's unfortunate, in terms of getting a decent photo, but createch can hardly be blamed for that. I mean, be reasonable.Nanohedron wrote:An astute position. I would also further point out that there's no such thing as "Irish rosewood".fatmac wrote:- so I will avoid buying one -

You give 'em one. I couldn't afford the exercise in charity. And why does the phrase "pearls before swine" keep coming up for me?Ben Shaffer wrote:Hell, give them an Olwell Flute to copy

Right. And then there's that Latin filler text. Most highbrow of them, considering the source. Raises my confidence level sky-high.benhall.1 wrote:Oh come on.

Re: Bargain Flute
It looks like they used a website creator but never found out how to get rid of the example items. The other items that fit their business actually have relevant pictures and descriptions (as opposed to the stock images and Latin).Nanohedron wrote:

You've got more curiosity than I. Maybe the flute section is just a Sialkot reflex.AaronFW wrote:It looks like they used a website creator but never found out how to get rid of the example items.
