Seery Keywork
I don't think I've heard anyone comment on Desi Seery's keywork before. I'm most likely going to send my delrin keyless for 1-4 keys (if I can ever make up my mind what I really want/need), but I realized I don't think I've ever heard anyone comment on the looks and functionality of his keys.
Thanks,
Eric

Hammy's charging 235 euro per key (postmounted), and AFAIK he's considered to have very reasonable prices.Jayhawk wrote:When I called his workshop, and spoke with someone there, the price was 100 euro per key. I believe he makes his own keys, so that seems pretty reasonable to me.
there is no end to the walking

I caught him around 3:30 his time. He really is a talker as Kevin once said. We had a nice discussion about keys in general, whether or not I'd played a keyed flute before (his said many folks end up not liking keys after they get them if they're accustomed to a keyless flute), how to ship to Ireland, etc.

Hey Eric & Leonard did you ever get this done?Leonard wrote:Just another upgrade:
I talked to Mr Seery yesterday. Yes he's a really nice man. A funny man too!
His keys are 100 euros, except for the long ones (F and C) witch are 150 euros.
So I'm having 6 keys added to mine!!
Be sure I'll take pictures and post then on the forum!

Hi Doc,
no, I didn't get my Seery keyed. I was close, but ended up buying a rosewood sweetheart 4 key from Ben (a boardmember - but I don't think he has been around much lately) for less than it would have cost me to get 4 keys added to the Seery (with overseas postage added that is).
I'd been playing the sweetheart exclusively for 3 months or so until I caught the flu two weeks ago...so I broke out the Seery to play for short periods when I wasn't coughing. It's still a great flute which I'd kind of forgotten since I was so smitten with my sweetheart.
I'm going to keep it as my travel/lunch break flute. In fact, it's in my backpack today...but the weather didn't cooperate so I couldn't get outside to play during lunch break today.
If I had a spare $500 laying around, I'd get the 4 short keys added in a heartbeat, but I don't...
