Healy and Hamilton flute questions

Irish Flute
1

Hey all-

I’m trying to figure out what wood flute I want to get in the future, and I’m looking at several different options. (I currently play the M&E R/R Poly.)

Does anyone have a Healy, either 2 or 3 piece that they could give me the measurement of hole 5? I have small hands, and while I can play the M&E decently for my experience, I am thinking that one with smaller holes (The M&E hole 5 comes in at 11mm, which Terry McGee defines as “very large” http://www.mcgee-flutes.com/models.html for a hole size comparison chart.) I am currently thinking of the Grey Larsen McGee model, or a Healy 2 piece in Ironwood.

Thanks, all!

My Healy three piece weighs in at 1 cm (10mm) for hole #5 - as accurately as I can get it not having flute makers devices. I think its pretty accurate.
