The actual tone holes are square, too. Allegedly provides better, more pure, less-impeded response relative to round holes. Let's all get out our physics books, now, class... :wink:

Junk on Ebay

Post by mattyacht »

I bought a Piccolo on Ebay for $89.00 just out of curiosity. It was what I would consider a "Gum Machine" novelty piccolo. I immediately returned it. These mass produced flutes and piccolos out of China don't even have serial numbers on them. Steer Clear!!!!!

But the prices are fairly depressing. Just because its a novelty flute, doesn't mean they can charge a rediculous ammount for it! :evil:

I can't even Tell you how tempted I am to buy that Flute!! I saw a girl with flute like that at district music contest last week. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, and I know it probably is just a peice of crap, but it's a really cool looking peice of crap. I didn't get to stay and see how it sounded...I should have.

(i will not buy the pink flute. i will not buy the pink flute...)

BUT PINK IS MY FAVORITE COLOR!!! :D
