Hi all--
I'm very happy with my current setups (R-13/Borbeck, MkVI alto/Meyer 5, Super Balanced tenor/Link-Frank Wells).
My flute, though, is an Armstrong open-hole/lowB student model (plated), and while it's pretty good for what it is, even a mediocre player on a Haynes sounds spectacular by comparison. Hence, my question:
What SINGLE improvement have you made in your aproach to flute that yielded the MOST positive results in your tone/technique (without laying out several thousand dollars for a [insert premium flute brand here])?
I'm considering alternatives like:
-upmarket headjoint (e.g. Drelinger)
-lessons with a local pro doubler who gets lots of calls for flute work
-spending a grand or so on a step-up flute (if so, which one?)
-spending somewhat more than a grand if it will really REALLY help (if so, for what exactly?)
Thanks, Mark!!. Glad this forum is here!!
