- Tell us something.: Just updating my profile after 16+ years of C&F membership. Sold most of my flutes, play the ones I still own and occasionally still enjoy coming here and read about flute related subjects.

Havn't sold that many, but so far don't miss any of them.
Hoover, 2 Chieftains, and Rose whistle.
The only whistle I wish I still had is a Laughing Whistle. Lost on a hiking tour it in june 2001, shortly after I got it....
Since I hardly ever play high D whistles anymore I have many times considered selling/trading my only remaining high-end soprano: a Sindt D.
But every time I bring it up Jens_Hoppe talks me out of it, telling me I will regret it, will wake up sweating in the middle of the night and generally be unhappy for the remainder of my days...
Maybe,
but I keep thinking I would be happier with something I would actually PLAY

I bought the best whistle ever (an Abell) from a member of this board. The other day I thanked him for selling it to me, which is kinda odd when you think about it. Might be just a touch of seller's regret there, maybe. But hey, a person can buy one just as good any time.
Which brings up an issue. I call it the Stradavarius syndrome. If everyone found out how great a particular whistle is, those with enough money would buy one. Hundreds of orders would come in. Question: would that mere fact cause quality to go down?
