Click below for a video description of the flute, with tune-samples, etc. The flute's not mine (mine is blackwood), but I can vouch for the seller.

I guess things move slowly to Sri Lanka.
2007 just called and wants its internet meme back.
You seen Juno yet out there yet?

Ah, Aanvil, internet memes never die, they just mature like a fine wine, only to get better and more satisfying with time.
But seriously, I wish I had money for the flute... it's a beauty and a steal at that price.

Congrats Loren indeed - but are you going to be wearing an isolation suit to handle, let alone play it, Loren?
I respect people's privilege to hold their beliefs, whatever those may be (within reason), but respect the beliefs themselves? You gotta be kidding!

Jem,
I spoke with Loren about this flute and his cocus allergy. He indicated that if he lightly coats the entire flute in Vaseline or a similar petroleum jelly half an hour before playing he's usually unaffected by the cocus. You can ask him more about it. Maybe he'll post his technique here? Loren?
Best,
Chris

One would need more than a good greasing to mask the bad taste of the mystery video link in the OP, that thing with the deranged lip-syncher....what's that all about? As for a slippery pole of a flute, are we getting this thread crossed with Carey's one about flute sitting?

Chris, you should have counseled your friend to at least double the selling price. Quite a steal for Loren. I can't imagine why anyone would want a flute they're allergic to.

Did Loren agree to be publicly identified as the buyer?

Yes, Loren really lucked out. You've just got to watch the videos to hear how amazing the thing sounds in the right hands.... breathtaking.
