Regarding the Woodi chalumeau:
"This Woodi Chalumeau is something entirely new."
I guess Michelle means it is not "used". It looks uncannily like the "used" one at the far right in this old photo:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalumeau#/media/File:Bass,_Tenor,_Alto,_and_Soprano_Chalumeaux.jpgI think the mouthpiece is on backward on the "new" one. I flipped mine over on the clarinet just to see what that is like. It's playable but I had to hold it at an odd angle.
This recalls the fellow who attempted to patent fanned frets on guitars until someone pointed out fanned frets were used on stringed instruments about 300 years ago or more. It's not really new and no he didn't get the patent.
Other than the fact that it's not a particularly original idea, it does appear to have pretty good value for the price for a "new" item. It's got a mouthpiece and at least as much wood and woodwork as a decent pear wood recorder. It does have the "fun" appeal, especially if you also enjoy the recorder.
I think it's definitely cool enough for a watch list. But I don't use the watch list feature unless it is something I am definitely not planning to buy. I tend to think of it as the decoy list.
Yeah, man, here's all the stuff I'm going to bid on, in case my bidding habits are of any interest to other bidders.

By the way, what is everyone else interested in?

Maybe I should be bidding on that instead....
If I am watching it, should I put it on some kind of published list? I suppose it has its' conveniences, but mostly it seems like it might not be prudent. Even if it is called a watch list, watching is a different activity than publishing your private intentions.
