Returning member, thought I ought to say hi again

Seems I joined a couple of years ago and got some really good advice, so thought I should come back. Just picked up the flute again in 2 years. I actually made a good start on my flute journey, but then my wife got ill, then got much more ill, then got better for a bit, then got really ill and then ...

Re: Hello all, new guy here with a Q about flute ergonomics.

There is a compant that specializes in ergonomic flute headjoints. Maybe this would help. http://flutelab.com/flutelab.com/ergonomical-flute-headjoints/ that is an interesting idea, not cheap but then they are not going to make large numbers of them, so they never will be, but I can see straight aw...

While new to flutes, I am not new to music, been playing guitar for about 20 years, and mandolin about 4. However, at the age of 48 I have started to develo...
