I have been having my usual nose through the recorders on Ebay and have seen one that I am almost certain is one of my old ones that I sold to a pupil years ago. It was quite a good instrument and I want it back! I don't need it but I feel that I abandoned it and now it is about to be orphaned yet again. Is anyone else as daft and sentimental over their ex-instruments?

I'm looking at Recorders opn ebay too. DFon't wan to get into a bidding war lol!

Aww I would say try and win it back!! It's one of your babies, you need to take it in!

Thats terribly sentimental but actually rather sweet, if you want to get it back then go get it I say...welcome it back to the family home like the Prodigal recorder...I am sure it will respond to your ministrations...

Get bidding..

Regards

Got him! And at a lot less than he cost many years ago too. He is rescued!

Woot! What is he?

Thank you. He is a beautiful boxwood Roessler.

Was he a Bass in the Flute section?

No, not a bass. he is a soprano. Is there a Roessler bass there?

I was bidding opn a Bass of unknown make, someone advertised it as a large flute, I didn't get it

Sorry about that. There are some very odd things in the flute section.

I've seen all sorts of things misadvertised, it's often quite amusing.

No problem! I'm not in a hurry. You are right about odd things in the Flute section though

utterly - I have real problems parting with them.........actually make that I never manage to part with them.

I keep having good intentions about selling the spare Eb clarinet or one of the spare Bb clarinets, or the spare alto sax. Its never happened. I blame my Dad, after telling me that my plastic clarinet would have to be traded in for my 1st wooden one I was upset but the reward was worth the pain. When it got to the purchace day he changed his mind on the grounds that 'a spare might be useful'. Somehow that has stayed with me, though the plastic clarinet has been useful as it gets played outside in cold weather.

I have a few flutes.

I actually played my first flute in my DipLCM exam as its metallic tone suited the piece very well.
