- 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.

Fascinating thread! (who started it =
Though I am a bit disappointed that I won't be able to say "me and Harry play Aebi"...
But they are sticks with holes.
Pretty sticks
deliberate holes
but nevertheless
sticks with holes

- Tell us something.: You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee

Now we know how to get a new flute without incurring Loren's wrath: "My present one is fine. I just want to try another one for a while".
Well, this does work, but only if one can already play the thing
Seriously though, who cares? All I know is that right now I'm selling the loudest holes you can buy, just slap them on any stick, and you'll have yourself the baddest tune cannon in-town.
So Jens, how many holes do you want? I'll sell you a set of the "Harry Bradley Adored" model holes for less than the cost of a Kidney, and the waiting list is only 27 years.

To tell you the truth, my flutes already have more holes in them than I can cover with my fingers as it is (for some reason, I just can't seem to reach the lower two), so I am a bit sceptical...Loren wrote:So Jens, how many holes do you want?

- Will more holes really make me a better player?
- Are they really the holes from Harry's Aebi?
- I won't get allergic reactions to them, will I?
- And the most important question: Are they delrin-compatible?

And therein lies the rub. Are they better because they're Harry's holes, or because they're Aebi holes?Jens_Hoppe wrote: - Will more holes really make me a better player?

Deja Fu: The sense that somewhere, somehow, you've been kicked in the head exactly like this before.

- Tell us something.: To paraphrase Mark Twain, a gentleman is someone who knows how to play the spoons and doesn't. I'm doing my best to be a gentleman.
Now, before you all make fun of hole-less flutes, don't forget overtone flutes (not to be confused with Overton).
Here's a link to a Stick without holes in it:

Although admittedly, rolls are easier on flutes with finger holes...
