i'd love to get may hands on a Lehart 6-key D, played Tiff' Lehart, it's so nice and feels a lot like my R&R.
BTW - tiff is a such great player.

I've got a Sweetheart keyless in rosewood, M&E polymer keyless, and an Ormiston keyless.
No flutes on order.
Dream flute would be pretty much what I've just found on eBay but can't afford at the moment! :cry:

Me too!...It happens...but it always seems to happen to someone else!!
We'll have to keep on looking!....I'll probably find one when I'm 97, and I'll be so crippled with arthritis, that I can't even hold a flute...never mind play one!!

Cass :lol:
