Dixon One Piece Student Flute

Irish Flute
1

Has anyone played (owned) the Dixon one piece model that costs about $32? I have one and although I am new to Flute (being a whistle player), I am worried that mine is a little Flat when compared to my Chieftain Low D, Susato Low D, and any high D. BUT, I also realize that it may be because I am just developing my embouchure. It seems I read somewhere where some builders make Flutes a bit flat since most players in the Irish tradition tend to over blow a bit.

Any suggestions, or should I send it back and get the tunable version? Thanks!

Eric I would email Tony Dixon and ask.

I had the same problem with both the tunable Dixon student flute and my Copley. Both problems went away as my embouchure developed, although I still have to pay attention to it. If you can, have an experienced flute player try your instrument - if they’re in tune, it ain’t the the flute! :slight_smile:
Good Luck and keep at it - it’s worth the trouble!
