Re: E flat / A flat left pinky key retrofit

George Opperman (Kal's brother) did this modification. I played one at Kal's workshop and loved the layout. Of course you can't slide off of it as you can with the usual placement, but then you don't have to. Concentric rods for the two trill keys are standard on even the least expensive flutes, so the design should be reliable.

Mazzeo created a complete duplication by including the C#/G#, which was operated by Ab/Eb key. It was insanely complicated and made the Ab/Eb key action very heavy, even on his hand-made "personal" model.
