If you have one you are not using enough and you're looking for to sell, please PM me...
thank you

Edit: Yep, You're super right, delrin not derlin.... I like to change names a bit :oops: ...

Edit2: more info, it was a poor first message...

What's "derlin" when it's at home? ;-) Dunno any makers who've discovered/use that, whatever it is.

As for Delrin, there are quite a few well-reputed makers (see The List) who offer it, but I dunno about "famous" - depends who you ask, I suppose, as to who counts as "famous"! Generally the very top name makers don't offer it, SFAIK - they're too busy with wood. Which is not to say the work of those who do offer it is necessarily "inferior". Desi Seery's Delrin flutes were famous enough, I suppose, when you could get them. But although very decent, I wouldn't rate them way up the list of high quality playing instruments.

Hi dontf

Not much use to Radcliffe, the auction is US only.

There is an M&E on ebay UK, but this is UK only.

You might want to change 'Selrin' to Delrin before someone sharpshoots you back.. :D

Ooops! :oops: Done. At least I have the excuse that D and S are neighbours on the keyboard and I only did it once! :D

Well wadya know. That Cochran Pratten up for sale was originally made for me. I recently sold it to that fellow. He had Jon make him a Rudall just like it.

Hehe, he even used some of my description from my ebay sale.

It's a cracker of a flute and a steal at 500 bucks. It's loud and practically a fekin foghorn.

Someone should snap it up!!

:)

Tell us something.: Playing flute for about 20 years... however, recently, due to surgery on my right hand I find it difficult to cover the holes in a flute, so, apart from a Boehm instrument, I'm not playing.
