I was wondering if anyone out there knows where I could purchase a wooden headjoint for my silver C flute that is mid price?
I have been looking all over and most of them are over $1000! Any help would be appreciated. I would not mind a used one but I have the feeling that
there are not many of those out there

Re: Wooden flute headjoints for Trevor James flute
Dave Copley would be one: http://www.copleyflutes.com/boehm.html There's a review and some comments about his Boehm heads here on the forum; I play one of his flutes, and it's great.
Perhaps there are others under $1000--here's a pretty comprehensive list:

Re: Wooden flute headjoints for Trevor James flute
Thank you. Has anyone tried one of the headjoints done by Dave Copley and give me an idea about the sound and the ease of playability?
I am looking for that rich dark mellow sound.

I have a Copley head joint that I use sometimes with my Boehm flute. It does have a nice, dark sound, but still focused. I like it a lot.

Re: Wooden flute headjoints for Trevor James flute
Checking in your price range, I believe the Copley to be your best deal. If you're in the EU, then possibly Eva Aralikatti (she's on the flutemakers list).
At the full $1,000 you quote, you could get a Di Zhao ( http://www.thefluteloft.com/Prices.php ). He worked for Powell and Haynes flutemakers.
