Hi pied_piper, I’ve seen that one, but not listened to it yet. The works I am chasing are in Op 108. I heard them on Naxos, on an album by Andras Adorjan, which is entirely made up of Reinecke works - it’s a marvelous album, on the Tudor label. I got to it via the IMSLP site - if you’re a contributi...

Have you tried the Petrucci Library? http://imslp.org/wiki/3_Sonatinas%2C_Op ... e%2C_Carl)

Tried IMSLP, nothing there. Thanks for the idea though.

Can anyone give me a lead on how to get the scores to Reinecke’s three sonatinas for flute and piano, maybe first written for violin and piano? I am listening to them on a disc be the Danish flautist Andras Adorjan. Fallen completely in love with them, but can’t find them anywhere, whether for sale ...

THanks for that reply Joe, it's the clearest thing I've heard on the subject, and it makes sense totally. Now that you say the internal diameter is the same on most head joints, but the external diameter changes with the thickness of the metal, I do in in fact see that the metal in the Fausili h.j. ...

I bought a Fausili head joint when I was in Paris, and since I didn't have my Muramatsu with me, I tried out their head joints with a Mura they loaned me in the shop. My new head joint turns out to be a little loose. I'm using teflon tape to add a little to improve the fit, but that is annoying and ...

thanks Joe, I was worried! Now I can try out this adjustment with more confidence.

Thanks for those links Joe - they are very detailed and seem clear, although there is one point, the very point I need to work on as a matter of fact, where if I'm reading correctly there's a contradiction. Pied Piper quotes the acoustics dept of the music dept of NSW (my home state incidentally) to...

Thanks for that pied_piper - extremely clear and concise, and simple. I'll experiment with that and see if it makes a difference, or rather what difference it makes. I think the guy from Faulisi meant their flutes have a particular parabolic curve which favours that position for the cork. However he...

The plot thickens ... I emailed the tech guy who sold me the Faulisi head joint. He replied saying he supposed that I was using the Muramatsu cleaning rod to measure the position. He said that due to the parabolic curves of the Faulisi, the cork goes a little further into the headjoint than it does ...

Thanks for the suggestions. I have checked the position of the cork with the cleaning rod, and in fact the mark on the rod is slightly (about 2 millimetres) to the right of the centre of the hole in the embouchure plate, so it's not actually in position. This will probably make a difference. It's ac...

I'm a returnee to the flute world, this year I came back after a break of a couple of decades. I always played an Armstrong 90, and managed to do quite well with that, playing professionally and doing our Australian music exams up to Associate Diploma level. To celebrate resuming the faith, I indulg...

I've just joined fluteland, and just come across this post. It's a blast - Sharpeye you are brilliant.

Hi flutists, I'm new to this forum. I joined because I am aiming to buy my first flute since the Armstrong 90 I bought 37 years ago, and a lot has changed in the musical instrument world since then. I have a rather tasty dilemma. I've estimated my budget to be just about stretchable to $4000 (Austra...
