Okay, now I can say that I would be very weary of buying this flute brand.

Take a look at the auction.

I wrote to this Dominic guy and this is what I said:

"Being a repair tech, why would you sell a flute with a round bottle of joint grease with it? That is a HUGE no, no! Grease is NEVER supposed to be applied to the joint sections of a flute."

Sorry, but he just lost all his credibilty in my eyes.

I will post his response on here if I do get one.

Looks like he pulled the joint grease from the images and the description.... *chuckle*

Yeah, I have a DC PRO from Dominic and promptly tossed out the grease. He is a nice guy, though, and my flute has been very reliable...although a few keys needed to be repaired as soon as I recieved the flute. It is a good brand, but like anything else, things happen! I once talked to Dominic and he seemed to be a very nice person and knew what he was talking about (although the grease issue bothered me too)
