Tell us something.: You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Major bummer for a any musician, serious problem for a lefty keyed flute player, ugh. Hard lesson learned that day.

Would have been nice if they had mentioned the maker’s name for the public in that broadcast because, you know, it might actually be stamped on the flute which could be a bit helpful….. take what press you can get though in these circumstances I suppose.

The good news is, there are a bunch of reasons a flute like that might just find it’s way back to the owner sooner rather than later.

Tell us something.: I have a keen interest in wooden flutes (modern and antique), early music (Renaissance, Baroque), Romantic music and Irish Traditional Music of course! I also play the clarinet (my first instrument) and I've also started learning the cittern.

Breton maker, 4000€, 2 years wait... My money is on a (left-handed) Morvan with large bands. This kind of flute shouldn't go unnoticed on the second hand market...
