There's an Olwell blackwood keyless D flute on E-bay just now. 11-12 years old maybe?

I guess one has to think about what going five years without an Olwell is worth to them.

Tulpenmanie, if you ask me. Nice, though.

Ah, but tulips were a readily available commodity. Aren't quite as many Olwells out there. There's a bit of speculation going on around Copeland whistles too. I guess the economy is turning around...and around.crookedtune wrote:Tulpenmanie, if you ask me.

Why wait 5 years with a one year waiting time for a keyless, at i'd guess half the price?pancelticpiper wrote:I guess one has to think about what going five years without an Olwell is worth to them.

In 2008 a rosewood keyless Olwell was listed at $850 with a 1 year wait. Prices may have gone up, but $2900? Really?

Roughly ten years ago an Olwell Pratten in blackwood sold for 2725 on ebay. That was ten years ago when there wasn't the used market there is today.In 2008 a rosewood keyless Olwell was listed at $850 with a 1 year wait. Prices may have gone up, but $2900? Really?

Just read old posts on chiff to see what the market was like.
Maybe the seller should just call it a magic Olwell?

Re: Olwell blackwood keyless D on E-bay
The seller is not a flute player, or knowledgeable about flutes by her own admission, she has set a much too high starting bid and is just hoping to get as much as possible. I doubt anyone will bid this time around, and she'll probably have to enter the flute with a much lower starting bid before anyone makes an offer.

'I am almost at a loss for words because I have to report that the condition of this beautiful flute has been affected. My dog jumped up and got a hold of the longest segment and chewed at the cork. See new photos. The wood was not impacted. The cork on that segment will need repair now. I have lowered the price accordingly.'
