Does the Cut of Your Lip Plate Make a Difference on a Professional Silver Flute - FCNY Sponsored

The Flute Center of New York sent me 2 beautiful Powell hand-cut sterling silver headjoints to compare the cuts of their lip plates. One headjoint has the Venti cut, the other has the Philharmonic cut. Both have a 14K gold lip plate and riser.

I compared them on the same gorgeous Powell handmade custom flute in sterling silver.

But can you hear the difference? How much resistance do you prefer?

Listen in as I comment on what I hear and feel as I play on each of these headjoints.

Have fun!
