A new Bb in blackwood with silver rings is something like $1050, plus you wait a year.

Sort of off-topic, but I guess someone can answer this question of mine:
With Böhm flutes, standard C flutes also are available with a "B foot". Is there any reason why "irish" style flutes go to a Bb? To play with Highland Bagpipes??
It's always intrigued me I must admit. B I can understand -- one can then play B minor an octave lower, which must sound fantastic for airs and such (and this is even mentioned on the session.org when talking about Böhm flutes in sessions *G). But why the *extra* semitone? Just for fun?
Oh well, off to work now -- and to dream of a 4-key flute (in D!) by the end of July...

Az,
I'm not sure that this answers your question, but a flute in Bb usually doesn't have a special footjoint down to Bb, but plays Bb with xxx xxx. If it has the equivalent of C#/C keys, it goes down even further.
And why? To play easily in keys that are a bit awkward on the D flute, and/or for that haunting, beautiful, dark, sweet sound that only a flute this low can produce. (If only my hands were larger...)

Now that is sexy! Imagine putting this flute--one of maybe 10 (maybe 15 by now?) Bbs made by Olwell! I'm tempted to get a second Olwell Bb just to compare it with my blackwood.
Loren, David, Jessie, Glauber....all the rest of you cool cats...Long time no talk. Just been busy in deeper reaches of Asia. Hope all is well.

G, I don't know that I'm "one of those cool cats" I know cat is cool.
Nice hearing from you - I was wondering where you have disappeared, Gordon as well.
What flute do you play most these days? I got my R&R restored (4932) from Noy, he made me an extra head, and I have not played any of my other flutes since (except the M&E during to day)! I feel like I wont.
Stick around!
