Hi guys! I just bought a new Miyazawa flute two months ago and am looking to sell my old flute, or even just the headjoint for those of you who are looking. My flute is a Yamaha 674HHV so here are the specs: Solid silver body, silver plated mechanism, heavy wall tubing, offset G, split E mechanism, ...

HEY EVERYONE! It's been like a century since I have posted, it seems. How is everyone? I was wondering...who here is going to the NFA convention in Las Vegas!? Less than a month! I'll be there :) This is my second NFA convention - I went to the one in Charlotte last year. I'm so excited yet again! A...

Hey guys! I'm selling my Yamaha 'EC' headjoint because I have upgraded to a new headjoint for my Yamaha flute and no longer need this headjoint. I'm sure you know all this but just in case: The EC headjoint is Yamaha's most popular and well known headjoint, played by many professional flutists all o...

Hey guys! It's been like a GAJILLION years since I've posted on here...I think the last time I did was about me telling you guys I was a finalist in the last Youtube Symphony Orchestra auditions. So that was last December! Wow, time flies! I'm a junior now at the University of South Florida now, sti...

Hey everyone! Wow, I have been absent for a LONG time! I'm a sophomore in college for Flute Performance now! Anyways, for those of you who don't know me or have forgotten... My name is David Le and I am a sophomore at the University of South Florida. I study Flute Performance with Dr. Kim McCormick,...

I attend the University of South Florida as a Flute Performance Major...Joey is in our flute studio! Hahah Joey is extremely talented as well as a goofball with a great personality. Always makes us laugh in studio class or making me and the other Wind Ensemble flute section members laugh during sect...

If you can, consider going to the annual Florida Flute Fair next year! February 1-3 2008 at the Hilton in Altamonte Springs [near Orlando] The exhibition room has tons of headjoint makers there and the representatives working there will be glad to fit the headjoint into your flute and let you try th...

Yep! I think she's still trying to figure out if you can still audition for Patel's Youth Orchestras since she's in Junior Philharmonic [I made Youth Symphony but I'm a new member with Patel too so I have no idea how everything works...with late auditions and all.] I'll ask around with the veteran f...

Sinebar, there is no such thing as "a headjoint for beginners or a headjoint for professionals." We choose our own headjoints depending on what we hope to achieve and what we want or need as musicians. And I agree with Phineas - for the price of the EC, it's not worth it. [Yamaha headjoints are all ...

So I've tried the Powell Signature Flutes and was extremely amazed by them but I've never seen or even heard the Powell Signature piccolos! Does anyone have any experience with them? I've been playing around with piccolos lately and I've found Burkarts aren't my cup of tea at all...

Hm...everyone's avatars have gone and turned into red Xs

Well I'm guessing if the person changed the headjoints and it's still a Yamaha headjoint then the model is stamped on the headjoint. My headjoint says EC on it. But since you already found that you like the 481 I wouldn't be too bothered witht hat headjoint model is, just the fact that you loved it!...

Ah, I'd love to go! Not this year. =[ Maybe next year! Tell us how it goes!

I agree with Phineas. I just got my Yamaha 600 series and it comes with the EC headjoint. Before the flute, I played a Gemeinhardt 2SP witht he J1 headjoint that simply did whatever I wanted it to. It's taking longer to adjust to the EC headjoint than I tohught it would but I absolutely love the hea...

I agree with fluttiegurl, the headjoint is responsible for most of the flute's sound and should be no different for the piccolo. I just have to find someone that will sell Yamaha piccolo headjoints now...
