Olwell keyless D flute
Blackwood
Silver tuning slide & rings
Pratten style: headjoint/tuning slide, main body, and footjoint
Body slightly flattened at finger holes to facilitate ‘piper grip’ playing
This is a loud flute - louder than my 6 key Pratten Olwell. I do not use piper grip, so I can’t say whether the custom body work has any effect for someone who plays that way. When I switch between this one and my 6 key on the fly, I notice the flats for maybe 30 seconds and then they become ‘invisible.’ Located in Athens, Ohio. I can send pictures/video if anyone wants to see the shape of the body or hear the flute’s tone.
Asking $1800.
