Hi All:
I'm selling a 2016 keyless blackwood flute by David O'Brien (Barefield, IE). I’m second owner and have oiled and humidified regularly. I guess the O'Briens (father & son) made flutes from approx. 2005-2018 or so). I just have too many other competing instruments to pay justified attention to this flute.
This is an especially easy player in the second octave, solid bell note, responsive, robust tone with a Pratten-style (one-piece) barrel and larger holes but plays more like a Rudall, or maybe a hybrid Pratten/Rudall. 2021 overhaul (i.e. replacement of cork stopper, couple minor tenon cracks repaired, hairline barrel crack repaired, one ring reset) completed by Jon Cornia, so it's in great shape. Nice custom wooden case included. I'll be happy to send you photos with PM.
$500 firm including shipping only in CONUS. Thanks, Bill

- Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.
