sanji99 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) I'm looking to upgrade my instrument and as there is nowhere on the island to purchase said replacement, I thought "To the internet!". Now I've bought a couple of banger flutes from E-bay as little projects to fix someday when I learn how but, this purchase is to be a serious one, obviously I wish to maximize my buying potential by going for a second hand instrument so thought I'd ask here, has anyone any recommendations for or against the likes https://100001.onl/ https://1921681254.mx/ of Ebay, Preloved or would it be better to goto a dealer when I'm away? Any suggestions welcomed, I'm like a fish out of water but quite a giddy kipper at the prospect of a new hooter :) Edited March 8, 2022 by sanji99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bees Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I bought a new (to me Clarinet) at Howarth of London, it was a great experience. Jon Sanders might have something locally, I bought a nice flute from him a couple of years ago, hmmm I almost offered it to you then... but no, I like it Here is a link to his facebook page :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Guild group is about to disband (speaking, not hooting!) so I do need to reconnect with "my muso side" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
