Alas, as you know Gordo, I am allergic to that particular material.

Re: 6 keyed Olwell Pratten for sale
Thanks lads! Totally mellow, yet quite strident. Only thing that would make it better would be an extra C natural thumbhole or two. Really helps you get that Grey Larsen sound down cold.eilam wrote:good one gordon ! very creamy tone !

I don't think that clip is up to your usual standard. And I don't like your hairdo.

Re: 6 keyed Olwell Pratten for sale
i really think you are onto something big here ! thumb and pinkie holes for both hands forcing a "correct" grip on the flute, maybe even a micro embouchure hole for improving ones embouchure. i know this has nothing to do with the original post and i'm sooo sorry for this ! but i did love your clip so you can't be too angry at me !

Yeah, I was thinking of installing an eccentric bore to effect a series of innovative intermodulatory quality enhancements. I'm hoping that will make it louder.
As a famous philosopher once said (I'm
paraphrasing), flutes need to be LOUD. The
more audible one is, the more one
can cut through the
dulcimers, you
see.

I PMed him for details about the flute he's selling. When he told me what he was doing with the thumb and pinky holes I decided I wasn't interested in the flute.
