oh and my previous flute was a Gemeinhardt that I've had since 1988

Great advice thank you

The first thing I did when I got my new flute was check the head cork and it is fine. I suppose I do need a lot of work on my embouchure, but should that be necessary when it's a new flute ?

So I've had my new Yamaha 481 for about 2 months now, and I love it. My only issue is when I play my high F and F# they are quite sharp, rolling in as much as I can barely helps. I've found that if I use the fingering for the mid F/# and overblow it, I am within range, but of course this is not idea...
