Second-hand Martin Doyle Flute For Sale - AGAIN!
Jul 22nd, 2007 by Shardul
Last week, we let it be known that a second-hand Martin Doyle flute had come up for auction on eBay. It sold for a good price, but the same flute has come up for auction again as it seems that the original sale fell through. Perhaps a bitter experience has prompted the seller to add to this second listing: Please, only GENUINE BIDDERS should make a bid… (We feel your pain Monsieur…) The auction has about 38 hours to run at the time of this article being posted.
So here, once again, is the low-down:

Wood flute grenadilla silver Martin Doyle in key of D
Wooden flute, grenadilla & silver in key of D Made by Martin Doyle, maker from Dublin (Co. Clare these days actually), Ireland.
The tuning is perfect, the sound is gorgeous, and the flute is in perfect condition (even though it has signs of having been played). It comes with the original box signed by Martin Doyle. The silver band is engraved with celtic motifs; the flute is the ‘celtic design’ flute. There are no cracks, no problems with this flute and it has been very well cared for.
This flute has been played and well looked after. It was bought in 2004.

The photo’s aren’t the best, but I’d say that this flute looks pretty good.
Happy bidding:
