Gorgeous though.
I've heard about perfect copies made in our century.
Play them properly, that's the problem. Require lots of expertise.

Four hours a day -- if he sucked you'd think someone would have told him. Then again, he was the king.

Do you tell the boss when he has dandruff on the shoulders of his suit?

Sounding great is all relative, haha.

Um, on that note, I think my flute is about thirty years old. Its an ancient Artley.

My Artley- about 60 ..was my moms, Haynes 48 (same as me) Conn 98, Gemeinhardts 40-30. They all play as well or as bad as I do. :D
