I'd be surprised if the rosewood of the Kohlert's has a "brighter" tone than the Linton that I've been playing in the meantime...I've played wood flutes and piccolos, and wood oboes and english horns, and metal and faux woods, and I've always heard a darker, more full harmonics from the wood horns.

It seems to me that the lower harmonics come through better I think with the wood. I could be wrong, and my hearing might by aged, and my memory is shot too, just like my embouchure. I'm wanting to hear what I used to hear, I guess.

The Linton loaner that I'm playing is of the "plastic" type, I'm not sure of the material, some sort of resin (?!) but it sure isn't wood :-(

I got spoiled playing vintage woodies. Maybe it's just my ear, but the faux woods always seem sharper on the upper harmonics to me, and practically nonexistent with the lower harmonics as opposed to the woodies.

but harmonics is the least of my problems :-)
