Anyone wanna trade their M&E R&R for my Seery?
As per the subject, does anyone want to trade an M&E R&R for a delrin Seery? This is my much beloved Seery, but after acquiring my rosewood Sweetheart, I realized how the Seery's embouchure is difficult for me due to an injury to my lip as a child (I need a more oval embouchure than the Seery has). In contrast, the M&E R&R embouchure is much more like the sweetheart flute embouchure.
The Seery is in perfect shape, comes with a cavallero roll, and sounds great.
So the offer is a straight up trade with each paying postage and insurance.
PM or email me if interested.

Ahh, too bad I didn't keep the keyless R&R when I got my keyed one, I sent mine back to Michael and only paid for the keys. I would have loved to get a Seery as well. How much would you want if you sold it?

i agree that my original M&E is not too heavy, and the higher inertia vs other flutes gives it a nice, solid feel in the hands. it did take me longer to develop the necessary strength to play the M&E comfortably. personally i enjoy the extra bit of ease when playing lighter flutes. if the light weight & feel of a Seery is important, a heavier M&E might be less desirable.Henke wrote:The M&E R&R is quite heavy with thick walls. [...]I don't think it weights too much for comfort, rather it gives a very sturdy feeling.
i also wonder if the thicker walls on an M&E R&R affect the "Rudall sound" much. my original M&E, which has a significantly smaller bore than R&R flutes and consequently deeper toneholes, seems perhaps more Rudally than Rudall - i.e. darker, thicker toned. i quite like it's sound for some things, but it seems to go to one extreme of the sonic spectrum.
but, that's an original M&E, & i am but a speculating newbie, so this is perhaps OT & very fwiw.
enjoy! /dan

Unfortuatelllly...the M&E R&Rs tend to be keepers (you can have my flute when you take it from my cold, dead fingers..etc) You need to do a fair amount of detective work to track down a used one (Yes it's the only flute I ever had to buy new..)
Much as I wouldn't mind having a Seery around, the M&E has built up too much of a barroom history not to keep it around for illustrations....besides the thing plays better (my opinion anyway)
What did M. Eskin do with the one he was reveiwing when they first came out ?...

thats funny Henke, because I got a keyed one from Michael, which played really nice, but I realized that there is no way that I would part from my keyless, so I send the keyed one back, I was not 100% happy with the keys too (but they were deferent then what you have on your flute).
I did buy a Seery, and was not happy with it, and returned it, but that one may have been an odd ball - the work was so crude, like it was made in 15 minutes or less.

Eilam - when did you buy that Seery? Mine is extremely well made. Larry the woodenflute.com webkeeper when I told him I was playing a delrin Seery, asked to see it, took of his glasses to stare intently, and stated that he couldn't tell it wasn't wood and that the craftsmanship was first rate (he plays a Grinter).
So...does that entice anyone to want and trade?
For all you M&E R&R junkies, please stare intently in a mirror and repeat..."I do want to try a Seery, I do want to try a Seery...".
Thanks for your support,
Eric

Eric, it was quite a few years ago, maybe 6 or 5? years later, I was told that around that time, there was a death in the family, that may explain the fact that the flute was poorly made?
Don't get me wrong, I really want a Seery, and am keeping an eye for a used one, but my M&E is one of my favorite flutes to play, and a have quite a few flutes that cost a number of times more.
