Measurement on Solen Lesouef D flute

Post by pixyy »

A bit of an odd request perhaps but if anyone who owns a Solen Lesouef D flute could share the measurement of the distance from the bottom edge of the 6th hole (the one you close to get a D) to the top edge of the c# hole on the foot joint, that would be a great help :)
Much appreciated!!

I get 8.5cm on mine-- maybe just a hair under. It may be an older version, though. I don't know how much her design has shifted over time.

I've been in touch with Solen after recently receiving my brand new keyless D flute (mopane).
She explained that her new design moves the 6th hole a bit further down.
