G'day Garg ... and punkin,

Hey it's only those cheap Australian dollars! (OK - we have gained 20% on the greenback since the talking up of the Iraq debacle ... punkin's price is about US$1440 at current rates).

It does depend on a few more specifics:

What type of keys? (Old separate keys - or Boehm system ... ?) ... or ... ?

Is the metal head conteporary with the wooden body ... or a later modification? (Not necessarily bad ... a friend has some great old wooden flutes with moderm metal head joints (made by the bloke who made the gold head for Galway's flute!)

Regards,
