The secret is out.

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".

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

Man, that is so wrong.....

My Hammy is so much more than that!

With my job, I'd probably be a nutcase without my flute....

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.

P.S. The great thing about holes, is that they go with any type of wood. They fit right in, if you see what I mean......

Wow, what a great idea, it makes perfect sense, the most important parts of a flute ain't made of wood at all they are made of air! Can I order some for my McChud holeless?
Trouble is I don't think my kidneys are in good enough condition to be considered legal tender.

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...

- 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?

Are those like the black, sticky holes that you can put anywhere à la Looney Tunes?

"Can I order some for my McChud holeless? "
not if you care about your warranty,
is your holeless (holinessless) keyed?

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...

BUUUUMP!

The Aebi flute sold about a week ago. Sorry for the delay in announcing this, I've been away somewhere where the internet is irrelavant.

Regards,

Harry.
