You might inquire about whether this Sweetheart is still available.

Sweetheart Flute
I just sent you a pm, since I have a rosewood Sweet that should go to a new home where it can be loved. I've moved on to a keyed flute, and my Sweet is languishing.

Can I ask why you don't want the resonance model?

Thanks, I saw that one but thought the price (what with the current value of the dollar vs. the GBP) was alittle to steep for me, especially considering the condition of the flute.crookedtune wrote:You might inquire about whether this Sweetheart is still available.

Two reasons:Doc Jones wrote:Can I ask why you don't want the resonance model?

One, I recently got to try out the regular version Irish sweet flute and liked it. (I did not mean to infer that the resonance was in anyway bad, I've never heard or played one)
Two, I personally prefer the looks of the regular sweet vs. the resonance. Stupid reason, but there it is.

But yours sound like pretty good reasons to me.

I think that would be in the C~Bb range.kkrell wrote:Is that an F? 15+ inches?
If it is like traditional band flutes, perhaps Bb.
Flute lengths.
Terry McGee has one at about 15.35".
