First is a D-flute by Haeseneier of Coblenz (Modern Koblenz Germany) with Ivory rings. I would like $350 for this flute plus postage.

At the price it's going for less than a sweetheart D What Sad Times These Are!!!

Yesterday, I attended the MAAC show. It's not normally known for a lot of S&W revolvers from a collecting perspective. There are lots of Winchester rifles, Colt SAA revolvers, and military arms. However, in all fairness, I've gotten some fine revolvers...

The problem I'm having is that the old french method of setting pads

to do that (I don't know how), but...

I see a lot of flutes for sale with the sounding length given; why?
Also, what is the interest in flutes in keys other than D? I have recordings of Matt Molloy on Bb and Eb flutes, but I wouldn't know if I weren't told. Seems a pointless expense to me...

If your listening to matt molloy and cant tell when hes using a bflat flute than you need to listen harder.
The sounding length is often given with antique sales as it gives a clue of pitch the flute but it is the standard.

The ivory insert is probably the original, but hard at the Manchester branch - so I guess the other flutes previously listed there have either sold.
Boxwood body, the flute becomes vary head heavy.

I've noted how cocus is highlighted in notices of new and used flutes for sale. Is cocus the epitome of woods for simple system flutes, or is it desirable as a way to reconnect with what was used back in the day? Or is it simply another option, along ...

There's a Richard & George Payne flute on E-bay just now. Cracked barrel, missing block & end ring etc. nothing serious. George Payne worked for Rudall & Rose before going into business for himself.
