Hi everybody:
I found this flute brand in ebay, they are not expensive, but have soldered toneholes and are made of silver including keys, foot and headjoint, and for me that's unusual.
So I come here for asking you: do you know BRICCIALDI flutes?
what do you think about them?, I wanna buy a new flute but I have not decide so this is an option... please tell me if they are confiable. thanks
God bless you

here is the flute posted on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260860822809#ht_7587wt_802

I personally have never heard of that brand before. I would be very hesistant about buying it for two reasons. 1) never heard of the brand 2) general mistrust of buying a flute off of e-bay.

Those features at that price does seem too good to be true.

Also, assuming you sre based in USA or anywhere other than Italy, you will be liable for tax & duty on it as it enters your country. In addition you it can be difficult to get any after sales service & the maker's normal warranty will only apply in the country of sale.
