Sounds like a good enough reason to proceed.Tunborough wrote:The resulting flute won't play in tune for three reasons:
- The headjoint insert isn't in yet.
- I haven't got the calibration factors right.
- The WIDesigner model needs work.
But with luck, the tuning you measure from this geometry will get us closer on all three of these.
OK, done all that and had quick play with it. Regard this as preliminary only. It plays very differently to my normal playing flute, so I need to adjust to it. Ignore the spurii (the notes not in the D or G scales).

We will have to agree on fingerings. All the usuals are of course not negotiable. But, for the more negotiable notes, these work well:
