It got my attention. However,in regard to the unusual embouchure shape, I'd prefer a flat embouchure plate, such as Doug Tipple provides on his flutes.kkrell wrote:......

The Barnett appears cylindrical. The one I posted is definitely conical.mcdafydd wrote:Thanks, Kevin. I remember looking at that now, years ago, listed under "Unusual flutes." It resembles the Samual Barnett mentioned in another thread about these types of flutes:

I think the conical metal flute is already in mass production it seems to go by the name of Shaw, Copeland or maybe even Clarke, maybe you could use their mandrels and design a transverse head, Copeland even has some kind of tuning slide so you could just make a head for that. I think he draws his tubes though.
Has anyone ever tried that??? making a flute head for a Copeland?
I don't know if it would be marketable but it would be a great toy. (no disrespect to the fine instruments made by Mr. Copeland)
(some days I wish I were at home at my anvil instead of Africa with my drilling rig)
