She Who Must Be Obeyed tells me that for $10k, if we can't put gas in it and drive it around, we're not interested. . .

Yes, I think there is real beauty and elegance in simplicity and functionality, especially when it comes to flutes.
I confess I have the same feeling about Wilkes's flutes (the more ornate ones, that is) though I
confess the bling makes my pulse quicken.

- 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.

Re: Oh my...! (ornate Rudall & Rose)
I like elegant simplicity too. But I must admit, I like the look of this one. Chris Wilkes' flutes never strike me as too flashy. They're relatively simple designs, in appearance, at least. Not so easy to do, I don't think.
Re: Oh my...! (ornate Rudall & Rose)
I have a few silver spoons that were my grandmother's and I swear the pattern looks just like the keywork. What's that design called?

Strewth - two of 'em (acanthus keys etc.) in one year, plus the Bb foot one at the same time as this.... Hell, a previously unknown low Bb will be the next out of the woodwork!
FWIW, although I do like these ones with the fancy rings and keys, I'd rather have the one with the extended foot if I had £5-10k to chuck at a single flute. If I was even in a position to take out a loan to shoot at the Bb foot one, I would - but not for the bling ones.

Re: Oh my...! (ornate Rudall & Rose)
It is true, the key work was done by a silversmith, the clam shell pattern in salt spoons was very popular. Either the silversmith or the customer probably suggested it! If you google salt spoon you will find a lot of examples.shoner wrote:I have a few silver spoons that were my grandmother's and I swear the pattern looks just like the keywork.

Re: Oh my...! (ornate Rudall & Rose)
ah.... (the other thread) no
The seller from the prior ebay sale has no feedback until June 11 and very few as the seller and none that mention a flute. Most of them do mention something, however so we can rule them out. There is one from phils-historic-instruments
Why Eddie is selling it however... Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom
Google gives that over 2 hours away

Eddie (eBay Member ID edward7460) was the buyer of the $10k flute - it shows in the feedback he received when he purchased it from eBay seller Darlington1952-58 (4th line item down)

Duh indeed! I did actually wonder about it (given the rarity of these), but couldn't be bothered/spare the time to go hunting to check the serial number, which I didn't recall offhand.David Migoya wrote:uh, guys, am i missing something here?

Certainly rather strange behaviour by the vendor, on the face of it.
