What puzzles me is who is behind the persona of John Hodgson, a la ebay id specialytie?
All these new seller's items have images hosted on http://www.antyque.com, which is the site of a registered limited company in East Sussex. Their ebay id is dynamyc, with a long ebay track record, and all their images are hosted on http://www.dynamyc.com, which is associated with http://www.antyque.com, and both domains owned by the same person, Mr. Mark Anthony Farley, with address the same as that of Antyque Ltd. At least this person may be real. But why create a new ebay id if you got already one being a seller with a successful track record?

I'm more of a Floot Sloth, myself. Hardly practice at all anymore--I think I'll have buttons made. I imagine something like this:

The more photoshop-savvy amongst us could probably replace the branch with a nice monzani flute. Apropos, as this particular sloth is also antique & no longer made except in replica.

And there is the giant grain of salt with which one should take any utterance of mine.

No No a flautist without a doubt. Why, by the way aren't we flutists? We don't play the flaut do we...

Hmm, upon closer examination, our Megalonyx had a pretty funky embouchure. I think it was more likely that he played this flute (these flutes?):

Put that in yer Monzani (or Photoshop) and smoke it. Time to take this one to the pub...

Hey, wait!
I think I saw Joe Burke do that once (or was it twice?)

Now getting back to John and his two-headed Monzani, I'd imagine John might be able to tell us some tales of a certain well-known flute dealer with a limp (now deceased)?

If anybody asks me I tell them who I am. Especially if I am selling a rare and expensive flute. It makes or breaks a sale.
