The flute has been sold. It was a good one.
(Thanks to Mr. Gumby. He knows why…)
(Thanks to Ben for the kind words…)
Martin Doyle makes excellent Flutes hands down. Light in the Hands, easy to play with excellent volume. Whats not to like. $750 is a great Price. Even if you have a nice Flute now, don’t let that hold you back from buying this Flute. 
Martin usually makes 2 piece simple system Flutes, so I think this 3 piece version would be considered rare and desirable
