FS: 5 key Lefthanded Wilkes, Blackwood

Post by RogerDeFlute »

Not sure what the waiting times are these days for the 3 or 4 top flutemakers instrument's but Ive decided to sell my 5 keyed LEFT handed blackwood Chris Wilkes that I've had since c.1990. Apologies, I'm new to this forum so not sure how to put it out there. No cracks ever, well minded, serviced by Chris few years back and comes with velvet lined mother of pearl inlaid hardwood bespoke Wilkes case. Flute (and me!) are in Ireland. Photos, audio and futher info available. PM or reply to post if you are interested. Cheers, R DeF

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Just to point out, Roger, that you'll need a couple more approved posts before you'll be able to send and receive PMs.

Best of luck. :)

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.

Someone in Ireland was looking for a left handed flute for their student a couple of weeks ago. If you manage to contact them, they might be interested.

Good luck :)

Thanks for the helpful comments, much appreciated. This flute would likely be considered a "flute for life"....or in my case 30+years, rather than a beginners instrument perhaps. Keys are long Cnat, Bflat, G#, long F and short F.
