Phineas, You are making me feel old...

He's a Muramatsu dealer. Probably OK, I don't have any first hand knowledge of his flute repair chops. Mostly a Clarinet/Sax kind of specialty was my impression though. Might be worth a try though. Muramatsu is pretty proprietary about parts availability. If you need factory supplied stuff, you'll h...

Maybe this will help?

"Yes, it's going to make the vibrations transfer more efficiently from the head joint to the flute body," And as we have stated, this is not desirable as it is a source of interference. You do not want to transfer mechanical vibrations, you want to damp them as they rob the air column vibration of ...

A typical reseller formula is it's worth half of what you can buy a new one for if it's in perfect condition. (Not MSRP but actual advertised selling price) From there deduct for condition, repairs, etc. If you are using a reseller expect to pay them commission off the sale too, another 20-30%

Any transfer of external vibration is detrimental to the response curve of a wind instrument. Sound production is simply about the...

I'm hoping for a REALLY big sound, So I'm going with this:

Acoustically speaking. This is firmly in the snake oil camp... to the egress... Their claim is that it serves as a bridge between the head an the body of the flute. I can see how this might be a factor with a sax, where cork acts like a damper, but the metal of the head joint is already flush conta...

No you are correct, That should be increase. You need to pull the cork out. It seems the last corrections I made to that article didn't get to the webmaster before uploading. Thanks,

I'll have that corrected next week

You're understanding seems to be correct..
