@abraxas123 Hi, a more standard use of keys is the main reason for the change. There are so many great second hand or antique flutes around that I though it was worth it. Also, it allows a faster finger movement especially on the left hand, and the ornamentations get crispier. Piper's grip probably gives more freedom somehow, although I can't explain the reason. The new grip is still superior in my opinion.
so......... it's for sale. I'm guessing it's sold? and if not, is it free? because I don't see a price listed.

@folkflutist The flute was sold some time ago, and it wasn't for free... ;)

Good job! I see you have adapted to the new grip. How is it working out compared to your old pipers grip?
