Tell us something.: To paraphrase Mark Twain, a gentleman is someone who knows how to play the spoons and doesn't. I'm doing my best to be a gentleman.

Yes, Doc, unlined and partially line headjoints are an option.
By the way, most of the 3rd octave fingerings at http://www.mcgee-flutes.com/PratFing2.htm
work quite well for my Copley.

No, you're totally right.. The smaller holed Rudall requires less punch to get up there and the smaller bore/holes allow for a purer tone when up high. I've also played John Gallagher's Pratten, and while I love it as well, it's just not what I'm looking for at the moment.

I've been working with an ensemble (trio) of piano, cello and flute and have found a small holed flute works really nicely in that setting.

My friend / our friend, David Migoya has been trying to beat it into my scull that no one flute will satisfy all my needs... I guess an excuse to play a bunch of lovely instruments!

Best,
