Re-Priced (Lowered): FS Olwell 4pc Cocus Keyless +C body

Irish Flute
1

Due to shock and outrage :blush:
:slight_smile:

I looked for my receipt and when I found it, I realized that I paid $2250 for the ensemble of the concert flute + the C body.

or I will sell these separately at:

$1900 for the flute and

$500 for the C body

Sooooooo, Iā€™m asking $2250 (for both) which is what I paidā€¦plusā€¦you get it minus the 1 year+ wait.

Again, this is an amazing flute (or really, flutes!). They have been well taken care of and are simply getting no play. Plus, Iā€™m using the money to fund my helicopter pilot education!

Indeed this is posted on Ebay. If you contact me before theres a bid, Iā€™ll pull the bid down.

best.

I will sell the C body separately.

Please donā€™t take this wrong, but why is this so expensive? One could (almost) purchase a brand-new, fully keyed blackwood flute from a well-known maker for the same price youā€™re asking for a keyless Olwell ($2250 without the C-body). Are they that much better? Pardon my ignorance and good luck with your saleā€¦

I recently purchased an Olwell Pratten (blackwood), 6 months old, from a flute player in Cork. It arrived, after disappearing en route for nearly 3 weeks, on the 22nd of December. Iā€™m very pleased with it, itā€™s as new, easy to play in tune, very responsive, very well made/finished. This is the first Olwell Iā€™ve ever played and it certainly lives up to the positive reviews Iā€™ve heard/read about. It sounds as good as a Murray and is finished off better. Brazenkaineā€™s asking price is fair enough I think

Thank you! Much appreciated.

7

you could, but it wouldnā€™t be an Olwell, or a cocus Olwell, or a cocus Olwell with no wait.

yep :party:

8

After all itā€™s the player who makes the musicā€¦

Cocus is quite costlyā€¦also makes my lips itch (though I donā€™t think thatā€™s why itā€™s costly as honey also makes my lips itch and is fairly cheap.).

Kynch is a great fellow by the way, Iā€™d sell him a house on a handshake.

By the way Kynch. Is this a ā€œPrattenā€ or a ā€œNicholsonā€ Olwell?

Doc

11

Thanks for the kind words, Doc!

Sheā€™s a Pratten.

Nowā€¦where me helicopter!!!

Not to beat a dead Smurf but did anyone notice
the keyless blackwood Olwell that went on eBay back in November
for EU1870/US 2700?

Brazenkaineā€™s cocus flute combo was a BARGAIN by those standards.
May be just a bad exchange rate for the dollar butā€¦:frowning:

It must be hard on younger musicians to consider purchasing a top instrument.
Pipes and concertinas are even worse. Glad Iā€™m an old fart and canā€™t play worth a darn.
Wonder what a good set of bones goes for these days?
