New find!

Arrived today. I already have more than enough flutes. But a nice flute for a low price I can't say no to.

What type of wood is this?

I bought this old Moeck second hand and I'm unsure of what wood it is. It doesn't have the grain I'm used to with palissanser. Perhaps because it also seems lauquered? Its also quite light and orangy in color. Or is this rosewood?

I'm also not sure if it's real ivory or plastic

Gescammed en dan moet ik de retourkosten zelf betalen?

Na alle horror verhalen over kopersbescherming en mensen die hun producten en geld kwijt raken is dit het tegenovergestelde. Nu ben ik daadwerkelijk gescammed op marktplaats met een product met verborgen gebreken dat niet goed werkt terwijl dat niet vermeld was. Resultaat is nu dat ik het terug mag sturen maar de retourkosten zijn voor mij zelf? Wat is de logica daar achter?

Er is vast gesteld dat ik gelijk heb/ik ben gescammed. En dan moet ik de retourkosten betalen? Dat is de omgekeerde wereld. De verkoper dat hier dus in de fout en die zou logischer daar de kosten voor moeten dragen.

Mystery flute

I got this new flute. I can't find any makers mark on it. Is there any way to find out the maker? It's probably quite an old instrument.

And how would I best go about cleaning the instrument? The bore seems like it has some build up (mould?).

Gootsteen is volledig verstopt.

Ik heb een ontstoppingsveer gebruikt maar dit heeft geen oplossing geboden. Het is er alleen maar slechter van geworden, er is nu helemaal geen afvoer meer. Ik heb geen idee wat ik nu het beste kan doen. Ik heb echt helemaal klaar met deze kutzooi.

Ik weet ook niet of de verstopping in mijn appartement is of verder in de gemeenschappelijke pijpen of die van de (onder)buren. De 2 meter lijding in mijn appartement heb ik volledig de ontstoppingsveer door gehaald. Wie is dan verantwoordelijk voor de rest?

German seller thinks if you spam Keine Ruckname/No Returns often enough terms and conditions and buyer protection magically go away

At this point its just kinda funny how ignorant this seller is. Thankfully im protected by vinted here.

Im completely avoiding people who use vinted as a business

The worst experience ive had by far on vinted have been with professional sellers/people who use vinted as a business (a lot of people using vinted as a business are also not marked as pro sellers). Stuff is almost always in worse condition than descbried or labeled wrong etc. And they never even want to cover the return costs if something did go wrong. After another bad recent experience im completely done with them. Never going to buy anything anymore if i get the idea that this person is doing it as a business.

Dealing with private sellers, people who are just selling their old chlothes/clearing up are much better to deal with.

Hands down the worst chain I've ever seen

I've had my fair share of second hand bikes but never came across something this bad.

2 parcels. Does anyone have experience with this?

When i want to ship my items that are in storage i see thats it devided into 2 parcels? How does that work? Do you get 2 tracking codes too then? And do you have to pay 2 seperate import fees?

First ride on the new 5000 from 2006

In all original condition, down the tires. Happy to have added a (semi) vintage road bike to the collection. Despite its age it rode really nicely, felt very smooth and planted. Now the hunt continues for a nice 5500 (or 5900).

Ik kom niet door de muur heen

10-20 seconden met de klopboor op full blast en ben ik 1mm verder. Wat gaat hier mis? Is dit normaal? Het is een betonnen muur.

Play in my brake levers

There is up and down play on the lever. Which leads to them rattling around on unsmooth roads. The bike hasn't been used much so I don't imagine they're worn out yet. But the silver metal part seems to be not pressed in far enough leadingleading to up and down play. On my other bike that part is pressed in around 1mm more. Is it possible to fix it and press it back in?

I have no experience with Japanese models. Are these 517s legit?

The weird thing is that the button code is missing.
