Flute Case

I have a french style flute case that has a slot for both flute and piccolo. I am looking to downsize and get just a case for a flute. If anyone wants to trade a flute french case for a flute/piccolo french case, let me know.

You also have the option of simply buying a new case. Fluteworld and several other sources sell cases.

Yeah, I know. But being short on funds right now is making that hard... and seeing as how french style cases are pricey, I was hoping for a good trade instead.

Thanks for the information, tho!

I would check on eBay. A few months ago I purchased a French style case with a B foot for $16 plus $8 S/H. It's brand new and works great!

I don't see any deals currently, however. All I could find is

That one (actually 9 are available) is $39.95 plus $10.95 S/H. If you're not in a rush, I'd wait a while to see if a better deal comes up.

Good luck!

Just be careful with eBay. Many of the cases on there are less than high quality, and as many are generic cases, won't hold your flute particularly well, which could result in unnecessary damage. There have also been many reports of junker cases that have such a strong odor of plastic and adhesives that it's hardly bearable to use them. Just a warning.
