Where the heck is the edit button?

I love what you did to that flute, Kara. It's really pretty. Is adding a gemstone free aswell [like the engraving]?

Yes, the gemstone crown come free as with the engraving if you would like that option.

Okay. Thank you so much. I am going to talk about this with my mom and hopefully we'll be able to buy one.

Btw, do you think you can send me some pictures of the two flutes I requested pictures of [I emailed you with the requests]? If not, it's okay. I'd just prefer it.

<Added>

Alright, I saw the email. I'll wait a while [I'd prolly have to wait either way till we can get a little more money] Thankyou very much.

I know you said you are worried that your Mom thought that I am going go scam you out of your money, but if you see I have been posting a very long time on this chat forum and I have customers on here that can vough for me that do post on this forum. I understand that it is hard to trust anyone now a days, but I feel like that was a kind of a slap in the face after giving you my ebay feedback profile, my home phone# my 2 websites and emailing you with all of the details. Best of luck to you in getting a flute.

Sorry, spelling error again! That is VOUCH.

If it were up to me, I would trust you. My mom, though, isn't like that.

Either way though, I wouldn't be able to get a flute. I discussed it with my mom and she said that we really need to save up so my dad will be able to move in with us.

Thanks again for your help, and sorry for wasting your time.

However, if I am ever able to get a flute, I will more than likely buy one from you.

ahh..you sound like a really sweet person.^_^ hey, if money is the issue you can always rent a flute from your school. They can give you discounts..and scholorships for lessons. My friend barely had any money, so her school let her rent a violin..for free. Ask your band director..music person.^_^ I bet there's a way
do you play the violin?..i'm guessing..looking at your pic. That's cool, by brother plays the violin. I'm trying to teach myself...it's REALLY small though, he's 3 years younger than me. Ahhh..

<Added>

i dunno..i think it's too late to play violin. maybe i could do it for fun. i memorized the notes..on the strings..well, SOME! violin was my first pick of instruments..but all my friends were playing flute, so I DID..and i LOVE it!!:D

"i dunno..i think it's too late to play violin. maybe i could do it for fun."

WOW, what a concept! Playing for fun... Just teasing ya, SkoolChick. In fact, I never play for any other reason, and never will.

Yup, that means I will never blast out flute notes to lead troops into battle, or entertain at a funeral (unless the pay was good- getting paid is r e a l l y fun!)

Too late for violin? Only if it wakes up your parents.

Kara, you are such a kind person for helping so much! I still wonder, was it you who bought the D.C. Pro. I know that you and I had talked about them a long time ago, and I was just randomly wondering the other day if you had bought one. If you did, maybe we could talk about them; mine has been being good (for the moment) but I was just wondering how the pads and springs have been holding up (under normal playing-conditions).
(I have been working at the trumpet right now... believe me, my mother wishes I would have gotten a violin instead of the trumpet!!!)

Celebrian, thank you, that is really sweet! Trust me though, I am not always kind, just ask my husband, though I try to be I think that he just gets the brunt of it at times. Poor guy!

No, I never did end up getting a DC pro. I had talked about it because I was curious about them. I am always into trying new things, you never know when one of those flutes made by a private person like that might be a real gem. The only bad thing that I have heard about those flutes is the plating wears off really fast with the one's with the gold plated keys. Which one do you have?

Schoolgirl, yeah, I play the violin. And it's never too late, I think, to start. For you, if you play the flute, reading notes shouldn't be a problem at all. I think if you're determined enough you'll be able to get a good start on it.

And as for borrowing a flute from the band teacher, yeah I already borrowed one for free for about two weeks.. But he wanted it back for one of his other students, he only wanted me to borrow the flute so I could see if I liked it.

Maybe when money isn't such an issue I'll be able to buy a flute.. But for now, I guess I'll stick with string instruments.

Celebrian! I just read the other post and found out who you are. I remember you! Long time no talk! I was just wondering about you the other day as you haven't posted on here in a long time. Welcome back!

I know that violin and flute ppl are so competitive!..i mean i hear some AMAZING violin ppl play in my school. OMG! O M G!!! there incredible..i couldn't stop staring 0__0 and i was jumping and clapping. WOW!
I thought competitve ppl would be REALLY mean..but a lot of competitve flute players i met..are SUPER SUPER nice!..at this senior band place. I was scared half to death..because there was only like..barely any freshmans. i felt so small..
BUT they were AMAZINLY really nice. whew!..i thought they would be MEAN.

i don't know about violin players though. ^_^... never got to talk to them alot. I think i should start picking up the violin again..haven't touched it for a while.

OMG! you know what happened ..OK, so i come home from school one afternoon. and we find a HUGE ENORMOUS hole in my brother's violin. it's like someone punched a hole in. it was quite scary. my brother says he did nothing...we still don't know how it happened...yea. violings are VERY VERY fragile. i mean i banged my gemienhardt flute TONS of time. (by accident though.. i'm not the only one though..right?

Don't worry my pearl..is OK..in GOOD SHAPE..

I bang my violin against things all the time.. It's still in very good shape though

I consider myself a competitive violinist, I'm not so competitive however, that I HAVE to win and I will be !***!ed if I don't. I enjoy playing the violin and I wouldn't make myself angry like that because of a competition.
