Unlike the last flute I sold, these 4 are gorgeous, perfect and wonderful , with no issues whatsoever. I need to raise some money. I'd like to be paid through PayPal. Prices include shipping to anywhere (insured in the US, not insured worldwide). Please email me: jessie AT madefromcoins DOT com. Wit...

Wonderful, Jerry!

(I came here from your Facebook link - the link didn't work, but I found it.)

Dale, I was kicking myself for not asking if you and Marilyn would be around later for dinner or something. But it sure WAS a fun little conversation in 100 degree weather (or something like that). I've been giggling about it ever since. I mean, seriously, how cool! Yes, I have three now. :) And yes...

Thanks, Byll!

I'll PM you.

I used to live in Nashville, but I moved back to New York 8 years ago. I hadn't been back, but this weekend we are in Nashville for a crafts show I used to do when I lived here. Dan and I brought all 3 kids. I was expecting to run into people I knew when I lived here. But who did I run into? In the ...

Jem, well done! This piccolo plays as well as any I've ever played. Seriously. Excellent tone and tuning, beautiful finish, unbelievable price. I just played a few tunes for my 3-month-old baby and he smiled the whole time. Lovely job.

I have seen a number of Murray flutes. Not one of them had a symmetrical embouchure hole. It shows that it's handmade instead of cut with a jig, which is ok with me. I agree, though, about the lack of finishing being disappointing.

By the way, I am open to trades.

Oops...I missed the conversation. Um, the warp is a bit less than in the warp picture (the picture magnifies the effect), but I didn't want to mislead anyone. The distance diagonal picture is accurate, but it's possible that there is a bit more warp from a different angle. Banana because it's curved...

Hi. I'm no longer pregnant (my third child was born in late January), and I have been spending some time with my flutes again (I never can play very well when I'm pregnant - darn hormones). You may remember that I posted about my experience in dealing with Sam Murray. You can find that thread here: ...

I have no problem with the fact that you disagree with me. We are all entitled to our opinions. In fact, this dialog has been very civil. By the way, I own and operate a small business that has been growing steadily for 12 years. I ALWAYS prefer to buy things from individuals rather than companies. ...

Had the delays been the only issue, I would not have felt compelled to post about the experience. I EXPECTED it to take longer than he promised. What I did NOT expect were the dishonesty (that he would embellish the flute, and then he did not), the lack of finishing (wood shavings in all holes), the...

Ben, you are perceptive about my cat! I have two of them. My husband and children have trouble distinguishing between them, but I can tell them apart immediately, even in the dark, whether I can feel them or not. One of them (Sola) is amazing. She is sweet and good-natured, gentle and thoughtful. I ...

Yes, Julia, I was warned here on the forum. But the major warning, with details, came when it was too late. Oh well.

I used to collect flutes. I have owned a lot of them. One maker of great repute got mad at me for selling flutes on eBay that I had bought from him, but I have friendships with a number of other flutemakers. I have not been a hell-raiser of ruffler of many feathers for years. I feel compelled now, t...
