How to adjust headjoint fit to body

Hello,

I just obtained a Powell Philharmonic headjoint to upgrade my Sonare flute. The headjoint is in great shape but it fits too loose inside the Sonare body and will not stay in position. What suggestions do you have for my getting it to fit more tightly?

Thanks,

Difference in playing between "wave" and the regul

Hi,
I'm new to the board. I'm a 3 yr. flute player getting ready to buy an intermediate level piccolo and start piccolo lessons. I'm trying to determine what is the difference and advantage/disadvantage in playing between the "wave" and the regular piccolo headjoint?
