Hiii
there is a flute i am looking at on the internet and i don't know if it is a good flute or not can some one help me. The address is: http://cgi.ebay.com/Silver-FLUTE-Open-hole-with-B-foot-joint-New_W0QQitemZ200102104086QQihZ010QQcategoryZ10183QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting


thanks

i wouldnt trust it. they dont even mention a brand...that i saw anyway.

I wouldn't either.

Agreed. It's almost certainly not worth even the $125 it's listed at. Unless you buy a used flute (in which case you can expect it to need some repairs), odds are you're not going to find anything of decent quality in that price range.

Thanx for all of your help!!!!!!

Or what about this professional flute. haha! (JOKE!)

I have asked the seller of this flute where it is made several times and he never responds. Gee... I wonder why? If I had a penny for everytime I saw those china made piece of junk flutes on ebay that are being advertised as a pro model I would be rich!

Kara - the only Google result (outside Ebay scams)for Brian J Hinkle gives this:

"Brian J. Hinkle
Mr. Hinkle joined WolfBlock Government Relations in 2007 after serving an internship with Pennsylvania Legislative Services, where he provided legislative reporting of committee meetings, sessions and press conferences. Mr. Hinkle received his B.A. in Political Science from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2005."

Wonder if he knows he's a famous flute maker?!

...probably made of stain and brass... :-)
