All I know is that $24 bucks looks like a fair price to start & the seller appears quite honest & details the auction w/good photos. best, mw

A Bundy from Tucson with a chipped tenon. Description fits. Will be sold as is, has eight days left, $24 opening bid.
I don't find the mistake.

Nor do I.
The chip doesn't affect performance or appearance assembled, and can be repaired. I'd be more concerned about the pads.

They've changed the mistake now.
The "common" mistake is the fact that when it was first posted, it was listed as a flute, not a clarient. The irony is that he seemed very well informed, yet could not even get the name of the instrument right.
What's wrong with this picture??

We all live and breadth music. So the tools of our trade are well known to us. But the general public might find our terminology a bit confusing at time.
Many people who do not know music associate the word "flute" with anything long and tiny in which you blow. Yes, it is a fairly common mistake. But before throwing stones as those unfortunate non-musicians (and taking an arrogant view of their ignorance), try testing your vocabulary on other art form: do we all know the key steps in classical ballet? do we know the differences between lithography, serigraphy, etching? do we know the tools of the sculptor? Do we know the kind of poetry that exists out there?
If you get into the trade field, it is even trickier: do we know the tools of the cabinet maker? can we identify accurately the machinery used by farmers? how about the tool of the carpenter building a house? how about the parts of a house? How about the vocabulary of sailors? do you know the difference between a dinghie and a keeboat, between a schooner and a square rigger, etc. You get the point I am sure...
Maybe we have a little bit of responsibility in educating the general public as to the tools of our trade, assuming of course that it would make a difference in their enjoyment of our work.

I wonder if it is at all possible to place the marching holder at that place. Maybe that is why the tenon chipped.
