Original dies, masters, and silver footjoint key cups produced at Eppler Flute Company in 1980.  "I purchased one of your flutes about 13 years ago. My flute has been just wonderful. My father talked with you a lot in working out the details of the flute. I can still remember the day it arrived as being so exciting--to be able to try it out for the first time. It's gotten lots of use since then and I play it often. And thanks for the rose that you engraved on the head piece. It makes it an even more special instrument and reminds me of the exciting time when it was being built. Good luck with everything!!" --Clancy Scheid (Nov 2005) |
