A lot to think about there. Guess I was lucky on the first flute this is going to take some work but sure what else would I be doing.

Am I wasting my time trying to use the Nicholson technique on a squarer embouchure hole.

The new Reviol short foot bore is about the same size. A bit louder if anything and brighter almost too bright. I want to play with other musicians not blow them off the stage. Might be the embouchure.

Thanks for replying Terry, I have been playing it for two weeks now and it's fine but don't seem to have the same resistance to push against. Maybe it's the larger squarer embouchure. Mind you it has improved my playing on the keyless Hammy.

I have a new flute with a natural corked head. Being playing with a synthetic for 20 years. Is there any noticeable difference or do I just need to pucker up.

Ireland was a hard place. I would like to use stronger language but Petrie said it better 'The land of song is no longer tuneful'. We had nothing but we kept our culture in our heads, it's physicial manifestation is secondary.
