Thanks for this info too, which led me to a web site in the UK selling the same product (http://www.thefind.co.uk/query.php?query=assisted+fingering+flute). New, I'm afraid it's a little pricey considering we've just bought the Yahama student flute and curved head. Oh how I wish I'd discovered this ...

Thanks for the tips. We'll be off to the city centre at the weekend.

Thanks for the link and the extra info, pied_piper. I think that the curved head is definitely the way to do. (Can't wait till my daughter and I can do our first woodwind duet!)
