i thought we could all do with a bit of light heartedness after all that has gone on lately

Lenny Lopatin has been making flutes w/square shaped keys for some time now.

Indeed. He also makes use of carbon fiber widely as well.

Very original!
Maybe not for me, but who says flutes need to look the same?

Lopatin's toneholes are also square, while these have (from what i can tell) normal, round toneholes.

the square one is cool (i just googled it) but i don't like the hexagon one

Hexagon keys over round tone hole means either some weird gaps around the pads, or those gaps filled with a fair bit more weight of metal. Not for me!

Not necessarily, The pads might still be round. Can't tell from the pictures what's underneath.

If it was some crazy color, like electric blue, I would so get that.
