It is a down economy.

Ergo flutes for sale.

But now that you've opened the door, tell us about your possible offering....

Best wishes.

Tell us something.: I restore 19th century flutes, specializing in Rudall & Rose, and early American flutes. I occasionally make new flutes. Been at it for about 15 years.

I have a whole train load of them I could sell, but not a very good time to sell anything...

... threads with titles that don't offer any clue as to whether the thread is interesting to any particular reader?

Perhaps those listing flutes for sale here would list them in the Used Instrument Exchange forum instead - instead of turning this forum into mostly a for sale site.

It seems that this type of thing happens in waves and we are seeing a particularly large wave. But people are still ordering my flutes about as fast or sometimes faster than I can make them.

I think it's the annual "back to school sale". Happens at this time each year. Doubtless the economy is stale but it's encouraging that Casey's order list is doing well.

From the look of your avatar, it seems like it might be time for you to clean house as well?
