Well, it's so light and well balanced I could almost toss it to you from here for a test drive. But I won't.Henke wrote:That one might just be my dream flute as well.

Flutes you have, flutes on order and dream flutes...

OK I'll play.
An Altus silver flute, why did I buy this? I never play it.
A Rudall Rose 7 key patent head
A Wilkes 8 key. My favourite flute
A Murray 3 key.
A Doyle Keyless
A Boaz Berney Traverso.
On order, an Aebi 8 key Boxwood Bb
I should sell on the Altus as it's a very good flute which deserves better than to be left unplayed.

I have a gazillion flutes most days and can't think of a flute by a modern maker I haven't owned multiple incarnations of except for a Wilkes.
I only consider one of them "mine"... My much-beloved McGee GLP with Rounded rectangle embouchure.
I also "own" a Noy boxwood head for my cheap Yamaha. The flute was $125 on eBay, the head $1100 from Peter. Add them together and you get a concert flute that sounds like the $5000 ones.
Flutes I would own (were I not a strict monogamist) are too numerous to list.
There are several flutes I really regret having parted with.

Byrne
Hey Doc,
I'm guessing that Keyless Byrne I just got from you is one of them!
What a fantastic flute.
I've owned a GLP, but not in blackwood. Somehow I think I would have liked it more in blackwood. I played a blackwood one some months back and I liked it much better.

Ah well.
6-keyed cocus Aebi in D
Hamilton keyless (to be upgraded to 6-keyed around Christmas) in D
-with an extra middle piece in Eb
Keyless delrin Seery in D
Quite-a-few-keyed very old Nach-Meyer in D-ish
Keyed-galore silver-plated Gemeinhardt in whatever-pitch-you-wish
Daydreaming of:
Flutes in different keyes, F and Bb to begin with
Perhaps having some time alone with some of Sam Murray's work
