Hi,
Just finished making a thinned head for my Dixon flute. It has a brass tuning slide to match the rings. Still have to make the cap.
I used Terry Mcgee’s Mach lll design, with a Eccentric Bore Head.
I copied the Dixon embouchure, no sense changing something that is perfect already! 
The flute feels a lot more balanced, and with the thinned head, it is a little more comfortable to play. The tone is the same with bothe heads.
not bad for a days work…

here is a link for a photo of the head joint.
Cheers!
Jon

I changed the photo to public, hope you can view it… 
Hmm, would love to check out the picture, but it looks like the file is restricted, can you check on that?
Cheers,
Loren
That looks great Jon!
Looks just like a proffesional job on the picture. Jolly good work 
Looks good, nice work

thanks Henke and Loren.
I am currently working on a Pratten in Holly, and a head joint form my old english flute in Boxwood. Next will be a blackwood R&R…
Very cool Jon. I have a rosewood Dixon if you ever want to try doing a head with slide for it just let me know
