Dearest Listers,

It came to my knowledge the situation of a flutist in IRAQ. I had all information confirmed by a musician and the managers of the National Youth Orchestra of Iraq (NYOI).

It happens that Karar, the flutist, had his flute destroyed (an Azumi 3000) in a fire provoked by a bomb at the school where he studied.
It has been one year since that happened and he is just not playing at all!
He used to be a flutist at the National Symphony of Iraq in Baghdad and simply doesn't have any financial possibilities of having another flute.

When I had contact with him he told me ANY flute would do!

Then I come to you to ask your opinions on this. What could be done in this case?

If there is a flute in need for repair, I could do it for free and then send it to him.

Thanks!

Ok, nobody interested.

I understand.

I do not own the flutes in my shop. The store does. Customers do. I would donate a flute if I had one.

Hi Zevang.
I've just been out of hibernation and saw your message.
Have you sourced one yet for the poor flutist?

Hello FluteGo! (another rhyme...

I have some possibilities, but nothing concrete yet.
Would you have something hidden up that closet that is playable?

I already have a person in Germany to take the flute directly to the Iraqi guy. She's a music teacher.

Best wishes!

I just wanted to follow up on this story.

When I first saw Zevang's post, I forwarded it to Altus/Azumi to see if anything could be done to help this young man. They were able to get in touch with him and he sent an email. I am pleased to announce that we replaced his flute so that he may continue.

Please see this correspondence from Altus / Azumi from Japan. (Please pardon the english translation...)

Thanks everyone for bringing this to our attention!
