Should You Put a Professional Headjoint on an Intermediate Body? FluteTips 170

The only reason that you would consider putting a professional model handcut headjoint on an intermediate flute is to save money. If you wanted to improve your flute tone, and you had enough money to spend on a professional model flute, then you would just buy the better flute.

I did a test with my daughters Haynes Amadeus intermediate flute by swapping out the headjoint with a Powell Sterling Silver hand cut headjoint with a 14-Karat gold lip plate and riser with the Venti cut. This Powell headjoint is truly a beautiful head!

Which headjoint sounds better to you?
