Started playing Clarinet in 1960 in School and later Community Bands. Also have played Bagpipes Solo as well as in Pipe Bands I played Drums in a Garage band in High School, probably my Instrument I played the best!

WTB: early Boxwood Olwell

Post by Ben Shaffer »

I owned at one time an Early Boxwood Flute made by Pat Olwell. Pat had copied it from a Flute in the Dayton Miller Collection.I think it played Flat or sharp, don't remember which and it wasn't very loud, so was not really a Session Flute. I used it to play at Colonial Reenactments and it worked pretty well for Venues like that. Anyhow at some point I had stopped doing those type of Events and sold it. I can't remember to whom. But anyhow I can use a Flute like that again. I think it was 3 or 4 pieces with a short Foot
So if the Owner of this Flute has it but not playing it much, I'd buy it back
