Yes, very nice, I'm drooling as I type.

Not because of the flute, I just have a tendancy to drool.

Eilam, the number on the flute is #3801

I sent the same picture to David Migoya a couple years ago, when he was searching for all R&R flutes, but I had never found it on his web site until today.

Hopefully this photo is showing. It's linked from David's web site. You can find it in his serial number index under the 3000-3999 series. I think David has it listed under the Piazza Street address, but it's actually stamped #1 Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, London.

Matt Malloy played this flute at a party in Seattle, after a Chieftains concert many years ago. He thought it sounded "wonderful" and said it was just like the one he used on the Bothy albums.

My god Jessie that thing is beautiful!! How about sending me a sound clip. I would love to hear how it sounds. Boxwood has got to be the most beautiful stuff. I am sweting over what I think is a boxwood on ebay. One more day and no I won`t put up the link

It is pretty battered but fixable to my eyes anyway. You realy do find some incredable stuff.

You're in a session. Fluters, about four of them, start coming...you know, the usual. And suddenly you notice something is wrong -- all of them producing bamboo flutes out of their gig bags!!

a Steven's, that one. nice.

Holes look nicely sized, too. Mine's a Zacciah's

and is actually my first flute (a Low in the key of D); interestingly I find it far easier to move around on this than on the newly acquired Dixon 3pc (the former's large-holed, can be nicely 1/2 holed..esp for F and Eb). I'm after an Eb flute as well, as it being my dream key, but at this rate I think it'd be best getting one from Zacciah (again, $106 ttl) than from Sweet (first time, $300 icl. s&h!)

Now, it would be a shame if we ever let this thread die wouldn't it?!

An 8-key Metzler original in Cocus wood. Beautiful flute. Not mine unfortunately.

Finally managed to get an image of my new to me antique german flute! I bought this beauty recently from Dave Migoya. 9 key with 10 touches (alternate Bb for RH), german silver head (rosewood beneath the german silver), rosewood body. I've fallen deeply in love with this baby...but the picture is actually the flute laying on top of the scanner (RIP scanner - this was the thing's last action before it died)! Unfortunately, this scanner method makes the rosewood look darker than it is and you can't see the lovely woodgrain.

This photo is a wooden flute in the key of A I got in Dec 03 at the Oxfam Shop In Belfast.

This photo is a Keyless Rosewood flute in the key of D Pratten copy made by Alan Ginsberg in Wales.

Hi Everyone,

I thought I would post a picture of something that one doesn't see everyday - a footjoint for a seven key flute (lowest note C#) that I just finished a few weeks back for my friend Cano in Galicia.

The bagpipe music there makes frequent use of the lower 7th - and I wanted something for Cano that would be in approximately the same finger position as the lowest fingered note on the pipes without the Eb key being too much in the way. This was my solution. The C# stays open, and is padded with cork.

Cheers!

I like your solution, Casey!

I like that foot-joint much!
