I came here to see the Drelinger being played, and stayed for the Syrinx. I don't think I ever realized how much Debussy did, that really didn't appear on the scene again until jazz was born. Well played, too, it just *floated* out of the instrument for you. You've made a fan, Ms. Dorough.
What a brilliant contribution to music. Floutists can now avoid many of the injuries sometimes resulting from incorrect practice positioning. Arily you're playing as beautiful as always. I don't know if you remember me, so many years ago at the Portland dojo. I am so sorry for the passing of your father as he was such a wonderful man and contributed so much to the world of music as you have. Thank you for your music!
Thanks, lukasalihein. Some transverse flutists do rely on the E-flat pinky key way too much, or even push against it and counter that pressure with the opposite hand. it's very secure, but creates a lot of pressure, including against the face.
If you didn't already see my video about the hand attachments and how it is all put together., you might enjoy it--I think this is the link: ruclips.net/video/We6jwe5gCcY/видео.html
If it's me, I'd make it semi-ergonomic. Since one arm is stretched further, place the instrument maybe 30 degrees off center so that each hand is the same distance from the shoulder.
Stanley! Thank you so much!!! It's so nice to hear from you! My mind suddenly brings forth an image of working on the Chaminade Concertino for Region Band auditions, and a stage band rehearsal where you taught us about different jazzy notations. (Doo-wap) In some ways those music days are crystal clear! Hope all is well with you and yours! Best wishes , Aralee
Thanks Nathan!!! The intonation is just the same as with the transverse head. (because all the bore dimensions are the same) A small compensation is that it is a little more work to roll in and out on the lip plate because the "leverage" is reversed.

So, yes, this ergonomic design is awesome and deserves attention... but I’m distracted by this awesome flute playing so give me a second and I’ll get back to it. Haha! Listen to that tone! Bravo :)
Why thank you so much, Marc! Delighted to hear that. I used this same set-up to record a Mozart & Beethoven CD - a snippet of which you can hear on this video, where I explain a bit about the unusual headjoint: ruclips.net/video/We6jwe5gCcY/видео.html

Thank you so much, Judith! Thanks for listening! I love Syrynx--and Debussy--too!

As a saxophonist, this just makes so much more sense. Imagine with a thumb rest you could also stop using the Eb key all the time too.

Love the sound...hows the intonation on the ergonomic flute? And which flute do you enjoy playing more?
