Hi everyone,

I have to tell someone: I just bought an antique Boehm system blackwood flute in Ebay. Perfect condition. No damages at all. Approximately 100 yrs old. I can't wait to get the package!

I got it and besides the fact that it needs heavy repairs (which I expected), the sound is to die for. The mechanic needs a complete overhaul, but it still was good for testing. It even seems that the tuning cork is still in order although slightly out of pitch. And the sound of that african blackwood is wonderful.
