We really should have a Ebay thread just for all the funny adds on there. Hey, that haunted flute sold for $40. Lol! I wonder if the new owner of it has creepy thing happening to them now. Darn! I knew I should have bought that flute!

That is absolutely ridiculous! You'd think they could do the simply research to get the flute oriented correctly with the body, even if all the finger positions aren't perfect, or just show the instrument. That girl really has nothing to do with the sale (I hope).

It looks painful!

What is more incredible is that the seller insists on showing details (ph #4) on how the flute is hold and played.

It still astonishes me that so many people have no idea at all on the way of holding a flute, as if they had never been at a concert or just watched TV.

Sad

Yeah, the girl on holding it is holding it out to the left instead of the right.

ouch, but she is kinda cute

Which is probably why they included her in the ad.

A new Yamaha YFL-22? This model was replaced 20 years ago, wasn't it?

Maybe they should have called it an antique...

I just hope that woman in the ad calls me for some private lessons, looks like she needs it

oh patrick !!!! you need a cold shower lolol

sure I do, as long as she joins me...

lololololololololololol although ..... i think i'm to young to understand fully what your trying to say lolololololololololol

Yes, Marcel Marceau was one of the greatest mimo ever. (I'm not sure whether he still lives, but if he does, he must be very old)

He made a school of his art in Europe and one of more remarkable aspects of his performances was his ability to convince the public about what he was doing -with imaginary objects. I am sure he studied every movement and every gesture in the greatest detail possible.

It is really incredible that he could mistake the flute by, say, a kind of mixture between a keyboard harmonica and a traverse flute.

I must believe you, but still I cannot believe it! There must be a rational reason, yes, but which?

I guess we know why she's selling the flute, eh? OK, yes, I realize that a pawn shop is selling the flute, but it's the first thing that occured to me <g>.

That's just weird.

I've also never seen a nickel plated Yamaha advertised before, I'm pretty sure they don't make them anymore.
