Title: I need a flute in the key of C
Post by: sleek on August 21, 2013, 02:53:22 am

My wifes daughter is starting band and she needs a flute in the key of C. Holy carp those are expensive. So I figured maybe somebody may have one we could make a deal on.

Are we talking modern metal flute or wooden NDN flute?

I need a modern one. Unfortunatly.... wood would be awsome, if the school would allow it.  Doesnt mean I wouldnt accept a wooden one though. She would probably love an NDN one....

Be cautious.  A lot of times you will buy a used instrument and it could be the wrong type or need too much repair.  We just had to buy a clarinet for my daughter.. $1,500.. Im feeling your pain.

Of course craigslist is an option, but who there would trade fro some bits of tree, deer skin, and other odd items? I have been looking though it, but find myself without a clue of what I am looking at. Probably going to make a few stops to a music store to get some knowledge.

buddy rodger's near me has flutes- sis got one there....
holy cow they certianly aint cheap!!!!
The one she got was like $1800 and it was only a student/amateur type. It was open holed(supposedly better tone)
 keep in mind these things are sterling silver, solid tube...
and the mech needs percision machining...

Here's a link to one that Josh made.  He has posted several others on the forum as well, just go through his posts.

There are a couple others on the forum that make NA flutes as well.
