Ah, silly me, missed it. Yeah, that seems like a good compromise.

I guessed right but prefer B flute. Having said this this test only proves that both are fine flutes. Cilindrical can sound as conical and vise versa. I honestly believe that the same sounds can be made by different flutes of different makers. They all have their own caracter and sound.what I mean is that I think that some conical flutes will sound the same as the cilindrical one. My opinion for what its worth....
