FS: 8 key Grinter Bb flute PENDING

Post by bepoq »

Hi All,

Sadly, I am finally putting my big Bb Grinter up for serious sale. Lack of a TAship (job) from UCSD this summer dictates. Asking price is $6000, which no doubt seems like a lot, but this flute is, as far as I know, the only one of its kind (blackwood), and one of very few at all (Grinter Bbs), which are probably the finest fully keyed Bb flutes currently available - played by Kevin Crawford and Damien Stenson (Teada) among others. Except, of course, that they aren't currently available - you have to hop on a waiting list for several years (don't know what it is just now, but it was at least 3.5 when I last heard- I waited close to 3 for it 7 years ago). It was made in 2004 I believe (I think that is when I got it). It is a very strong and big flute, responsive and with a lovely Bb tone. All keys work well. It is a heavy flute. Please let me know if you've any questions, but, as usual, negotiations and offers (which will be considered) by PM or email bepoq1 AT gmail. I am sorry to sell it. I do play it and enjoy it very much, but I don't play it enough to keep in hard times (that is it must go so other things can be saved).

Best,

Ben

PS. I observe that I took the photos before reattaching the pewter plugs after a bit of cleaning. They are now back on. If anyone is worried about that, PM or email me and I'll send you a pic.

Hmmm. Still working on photos. If anyone's got a clue what has to change I'd be obliged. In the meantime, they are here:

Hi All (same post as in the flute forum),

Have limped on without selling this, but living off the credit card this summer was tough and I'm still paying. Anyway, it's still up for sale and here are a couple of samples. Don't expect too much, one take each straight into the sony, no digital manipulation, and that on a flute I've not picked up for almost 6 months (which is significant with this flute I've found) - not that I've been playing much at all come to that - graduate school is rough at the mo'.

Anyway, as I said before, I will entertain offers.

Cheers,

Ben

well, I seem to get a few listens to the clips every time I post this, so I'll bump it again assuming that there is a least a little mild interest.

here are the clips again

now I don't think people are actually downloading the clips out of any interest in the flute at all :(

still downloading though, so:
