:oops: :lol:
You'll have to put them on an image hosting site like photobucket first, and then you should be able to display them here. I may be wrong (I'm not terribly tech savvy either), but once they're on photobucket, simply paste the URLs for each into your message, like this (replacing the "URL" with the actual web address):

There you go. My wonderful new flute [or at least in my opinion :wink: ]

I have more pics if you want them, but I figured this would be enough. If you do want them however, just let me know!

Looks like a beautiful flute! I have the same piccolo as you, it's fantastic for the price. Enjoy your wonderful new instrument!

I agree. After testing several different makes of piccolo, I had the option of purchasing a $3k hammig picc, or a $1600 yamaha picc [ after discounts]... well... I honestly didnt hear or feel a big difference between the two, so I chose the yamaha. But, if I happened to come across and extra 1600 dollars, the dealer I purchased my flute from has offered to do a trade in for a hammig picc.... so... we shall see how that works out... but for the time being, I am very content.

Nice looking flute -- how do you like the D roller?

I really like it. I would have liked it a bit more if it was a little bigger, and if there was a roller on the c# spatula as well, but you cant always have everything. But, I really like it, and it makes manuevering around those keys a LOT easier [particularly for pieces like Cantabile et Presto in the Flute music by French composers book].

But, yeah, I like that option quite a lot. Personally, it is my 2nd favorite thing about this flute [the c# trill key being the first because I use it a lot in our current symphonic band music because there are a lot of sustained c#'s and it really helps tune and add color to the note].
