    As a flute player myself it sometimes comes up in conversation about how expensive flutes can be and people scoff at me when I tell them. I had the opportunity to play some of these fine instruments at a flute fair I attended a few years back. It's hard to fathom holding that much money in your hands. You sure don't want to drop it! But oh....they played so sweetly, almost effortlessly! I also got to play some alto, contra-alto, and bass flutes. Talk about cool!
