Hi
does anyone know does Pol still make flutes?
Kind regards
K.

Have you tried contacting him at poljez@hotmail.com? I got in touch with him over a year ago regarding the potential restoration of an antique flute and he definitely sounded like he was still making flutes at the time.

I do think he is still making flutes. Try this email: flutepoljez@gmail.com

I do love my Poljez keyless -- though I would consider selling it since these days I am using keys quite a bit.

Yes he does ~ and has a very very long waiting list.

Pol lives in Morhiban (magical place!) I've met him when he made a very unique keyed flute with amazing intonation across 3 1/2 octaves. His keywork is evolving peerlessly: he's the only maker I've ever seen making inline countersunk keys. Stunning flute.

I believe this video is about the same maker, Kevin Crawford posted it recently as a review of his new keyed Delrin flute:

Fascinating keywork with that mounting method. I wonder if it would work as well on wood as Delrin? I like the modern aesthetics of no metal rings too for a Delrin flute. Kevin mentions at the end of that clip that Pol had been in a motorbike accident recently that will take him out of commission for a while, but he should be back in action and taking orders at some point.

Did you sell your keyless PolJez already? Would be interested.

SOLD: I’m selling my keyless Irish D Flute (Delrin) made by PolJez. It is like new (Feb. 23), needs little air and has a very wooden sound.
I’m selling this flute (with case) cause I have a keyed flute now.
1.000 Euro (+ shipping)
