So I just took delivery of this flute this week. It is a six keyed, delrin flute by Copley that Dave obliged me by doing a bit of a "Baroque" (ish) treatment to.

Re: Check out my new flute from Dave Copley
Seeing a flute with that profile, with keys, with the bottom two holes, causes a certain amount of dissonance in my head.
Edit to add, looks like it will be a fun one to toot.

Though I am not a fan of baroque design - this flute looks great to me. It is both baroque and modern at the same time - very well balanced in terms of aesthetics.

It is actually designed after a Henry Potter flute. Nice work Dave!

Congratulations on the new flute! I have a four key from Dave and couldn't be more pleased with it.

That's lovely! What year was the Potter original from? I'd love to hear it!
