flute Delrin 7 keyed

Flute for sale. Price €1,500. Simple system Irish flute, Key D and unusually comes with 2 footjoints. There are 5 or 7 keys depending on which foot joint you wish to use. All body parts, includiing head and both foot joints , were made by Dessie Seery using a material he called Delrin. It is practically indistinguishable from the common wooden flute in both appearance and sound but Delrin is not known to crack or warp which can be a problem with wooden flutes. The keys look like silver but it is not known whether they are solid silver. Dessie did say that if they take a knock they can simply be bent back to original shape by hand (taking care not to strain the pivot pins etc). This is a good instrument which should easily last a lifetime. Available in Dublin 7 area. Reason for sale is that I changed to the classical boehm system flute and no longer have any use for an Irish style flute.
