Wow, that is a beaut of a flute. I like that Bb key setup a lot from a playing standpoint (although I'm skeered to death I'd break it off trying to put it in the case or something).
Good luck to the winner, that's as good a flute as a flute gets.

That’s a really attractive key placement, putting them where they can be reached when the body pieces are shifted. Does anyone know if other flute makers will do that? I asked M&E if they can do that, but haven’t gotten a response yet.

That's really not bad at all. His keyless flutes, with a waiting list of a year or two, often go for twice what they cost new. So this is about twice what a keyed flute goes for, with a wait of 7 years or more.

- Tell us something.: I play ITM on flute and whistle and enjoy the the topics on both forums. Much more civil and germaine that The Session.Org.
Six months ago I paid nearly this much for my Olwell, whose original owner never played it. I was very lucky to talk her out of it, and not have to wait all those long years. I don't think I would have (at my age) ordered a flute from Patrick and waited six or seven years. Needless to say, I find it difficult to put the instrument down once I get it warmed up. I'm just back from my weekly session where I can now, with the Olwell, hold my own, and checked the auction to know the results. The winner is congratulated and advised to play the flute well and often.
