Yo Stu-dog!
I too like a threesome. I was hoping to lay that big and bluesy new 'ho next to my hot, two-headed old lady R&R, and my (future) third wife, a Noy contemporary head six key with amber. But the Noy won't come until 1 April, I now learn.
I'll lay out the Olwell Bb naked just for you, bro, to see those magnificent curves. I'm off to play her now....

Yes, it's a low D.On 2003-02-02 17:05, peeplj wrote:
Walden, that crystal flute is lovely.
Is that a low D? Seems like it's a pretty big flute.
I've thought of buying one of these before, just never got around to it. How does it play?
Best,

Takes a different embouchure. Most people don't seem to like to play them, but I find it pleasant enough. The conventional wisdom seems to be "It's decorative and it really plays--but not that well." But I like it.

Man...
All these flutes, and I'm still waiting for my M&E R&R...
Although, if I had to take my pic, that Abell flute that croberts posted just cries to me...that is a flute that I would LOVE to try!
Now if I could just find a spare $10 grand to drop on one I'd be set.

- Tell us something.: You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free - Location: Loren has left the building.

Even though that is a good picture of the Copley/Boegli six key, I just want you all to know that the picture does not do justice to the flute. You just have to hold one of these in your hands and feel the quality. Then, once you begin to play, you once again feel and then hear the quality. Don't get me wrong, I am not in to worshipping objects including musical instruments and if it came down to giving up my flute or saving a child or animal from pain and suffering, this flute or any flute would go in an instant. But, still, in my comfortable world, the Copley/Boegli flute is very, very nice to have. Thanks for the photo and thanks to the two folks who make these gems.
Piper7 is quite right: the picture does NOT do justice to the flute, even as just a picture. I wish I were a better photographer.
I will write more about the flute as I get to know it better. (Yes, Craig, it's my first.) From my approximately 45 minutes of playing it, though, I can say that its tone is lovely, its tuning is perfect, and I can hear the potential for power within it. It is a substantial flute, rich. I would do it a further injustice to try to write too much now, but I can say that so far I am thrilled with it, very happy at the prospect of spending the months and years ahead discovering what this beautiful flute has to offer.
And thank you, flute friends, for your generous advice, encouragement, and inspiration.

I have five of these in various sizes:
Two of these (I only play the Low E):
A set of these (plus a VSB F):
and a very fresh one of these!:
Ok. Not all flutes. Well, fippled flutes? I love the Crystal D - all 5 of the notes I can make
