Re: Embouchure size and tuning

Ive got a Music Morneaux./ Sweetheart Rosewood Flute with an embouchure that is 13 by 11 mm. I'd say the size of the embouchure gives me very good volume. I know "size matters" as when I bought the Flute from the Irish Flute Store the embouchure was smaller. I then sent it to Jos who had m...
