Thank you all kindly for the interest in the flute.I'm glad to report it has found a loving home in Los Angeles!!! Best wishes to you all, and thanks again x
I saw the ad. I responded that I would be interested and to please email the photos.
I had a genuine interest and could afford to buy at genuine price.
I never got a response-though I think I was an early responder- but that's OK. no loss for me I was just an interested party.
A little surly but hey, so what.
I have never been chastised by an executive director of anything before.
Executive Director of a non profit charity - surely you have been chastised by better - say, your primary/elementary school teachers, fiddle or accordian tutor etc. I hate these self styled/appointed positions of so called authority!!!!!!
Is that "non profit charity" in the sense of Voluntary staff working in spare time for the love of a cause?
Or is that "non profit charity" in the sense of having paid staff but not having to make a profit for any shareholders?
In the latter sense I have worked for a non profit business all my life - it pays me handsomely in wages, and after I've taken them there is no profit.
I'm not casting any aspersions, I just wondered which it is.
Correct. Non-profit, IRS-approved charity, self- and publicly funded (no grants), volunteer staff. I believe the Executive Director title is what the gov't calls it. I call it unemployed. I humbly cringe.

Re: Hammy's flute...
Since my previous post I've read more on the ITMS website, and I see that there are no salaried staff.
So now I know.
