<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Hi Brian:</P>
<P>When you are there at the big apple shak festival go see Ronnie Seldin. He has a VERY large selection of flutes in all sizes and a wide price range. I played a Monty cast-bore instrument, and then a year later bought a very nice flute from him. I found that the tranditional bore instruments don't weigh as much as the cast-bore. A little easier on the hands. </P>
