Greetings folk,
Gerd Winkler has me trying out one of his flutes, the hiccup is that it has a wide bore, which seems to slip out of position on my chin as I attempt to get a good embouchure. I can measure the diameter when I return home but Gerd's flute is wider than my 2.6.
I was wondering if there was a knack/trick/magic to settling in with a flute with a wide bore such as this ? Or do I accept the concept that the physical dimensions of my face will not allow me to ever play this flute ?
Be well.
