Nice flute, I have a keyless one that I bought used in 2008 (about a year old then) for 500 Euro I think. It was a bargain! I presume yours is the one you had used from Doc Jones and reviewed on the discussion thread. Can’t afford your $2400 but I hope it ends up in a good home.

Yes, it is. that flute. I believe the wait for a new keyed Cotter is about 9 months.
The price is about 2800 dolllars. I’m selling because I at last got some keys on my Olwell
and need money. The Cotter plays beautifully and is very sweetly in tune.
This is as good as new. .Also included is a sturdy hard nylon case.

Nylon case? Surprising, I think they usually come with a handmade rosewood box or the like.

Maybe he keeps the wooden case for his Olwell. I will also keep my lovely hardwood case for my new flute when I’m selling my current one in about half a year.

Nonetheless, Cotter flutes are great, they offer a nice and complex sound and speak easily. Would get one if they came with eight keys.

This is the case it came in from Doc. It’s a handsome case, in fact. It’s got plush compartments
inside, it’s very protective, it’s rigid, and also portable. Sorry I have no camera. I’ve had
wooden cases and like this better.

Mine doesn’t live in its coffin either it has to be said - aesthetically pleasing, and reassuringly solid, but doesn’t half bump your bones if you sling it over your shoulder in a backpack :swear: :cry:

…although if anything the smooth polished finish on the case is better than on the flute!

The matte finish gives a better grip. :slight_smile:

Love Cotters. Just love them.

Interested in a keyless Eb? I have one I’m thinking of selling. (PS Josh has played it, if that adds anything to its value for you…)

Yeah, go for it Cathy! You something of a collector now, aren’t you? :thumbsup:

Here’s another video, which is meant partly as a response to the idea that
Prattens are great honking beasts, without nuance or romance. Perhaps
you can hear the sweetness of the tuning, too.

:laughing:! :thumbsup: Good one!

As much as I’d like an Eb Cotter, I’m skint (I wonder why???). And in reality, for the little bit of Eb playing I get to do (alas), the one I have is just dandy.

Of course, if y’all want to come down here and start an Eb session, I’m all over it. But bring some fiddlers; the ones here keep whingeing about warping necks or something. WTF? Can’t they get smaller fiddles?

Careful, there Mr. Pot.
XO, Ms. Kettleblack. :wink:

mmm… just dug out the Cotter to stave off a rainy afternoon and pleasantly reminded what a nice flute that is (even if the playing’s sloppy)
