Copley Flute, which wood "wood" you pick?

Thanks for the feedback on the Schultz & Copley Flutes........which wood would you pick for the Copley Flute?
Blackwood seems to be the standard choice for his Flutes, but Mr. Copley also offers Rosewood...any thoughts?
Ben

I'm entertaining the idea of buying a Flute for session work and have been thinking about these 2 makers.
I would appreiciate getting comments from anyone who has had experience with either of these 2 Flutes
Which wood was it made out of, and which Flute would you pick?
Thanks
Ben

I've never played a Schultz so I can't give you a comparision, but my blackwood Copley is fantastic and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

I've never played a Copley, but the Schultz is very good. Very comfortable too.

Like many of the others, I've never played (or even seen) a Schultz flute, but I do have a Copley, and it's magnificent. You won't go wrong there.

Copley, yes. Blackwood is also my wood choice. I got mine several months back, and now am selling off the rest of my flutes slowly. It does all the things I want it to do, and just sits there waiting for me to get better (of course that's a relative term, here- some folks think that the thing has an extended wait on its hands).

As for wood, i'd pick blackwood just because it's almost indestructible, and i live in a place where the weather changes often and widely.
