I recently had a pre-owned Copeland go through the store. I got to play it for a few weeks. Tough life I have. 
The craftsmanship was superb and the thing could really play. Great intonation, good volume and solid on both upper and lower registers. They’re patterned after a Prowse and seemed to me to be a great marriage of the best traits of both a Pratten style and a Rudall.

Tell me, does Mr. Copeland design his embouchure holes for both righty and lefty players or do you have to custom order a lefty headjoint?
I want a Copland Low D whistle bad 
.
One of these years…
Of course, I will be happy to take one of these flutes off of your hands for a modest fee. You can’t expect me to do it for nothing.
(no insult intended here, I realize that these instruments are worth what you pay for them, only kidding. I’m simply bitter because I will not own anything ‘Copland’ for quite a long time, unless the good Lord provides some unexpected blessings).
Look around for someone throwing out a Dixon 2-piece and see if they’ve got the whistle head…then make your own tube…the whistle head is the only decent part of that Dixon…
I think you’ll be surprised…
Jim/Mike, I have this scheme. How about making
flute heads that fit into the bodies of the low D
whistles? I have one of these whistles in silver
and the idea of a silver flute head on the conical
body certainly sounds interesting, yes? It might
also sound swell on the brass body.
Best to you’all, Jim
Or, low-D whistle heads for the flutes…
I made a thick bamboo flute headjoint for a silver Copeland Low D whistle body and it didn’t play very well. I think the thin tube doesn’t translate very well to flute.
I don’t really understand why you quoted me 
Interesting.
I’ve seen lately high d whistles with optional flute heads
that did work–notably the sweet soprano d whistle.
It makes a pretty good little fife, IMO. Well, I
can’t generalize from this, but maybe, maybe,
a silver flute head would work on the Copeland low D.
Imagine if it did–wouldn’t that be something!
Jim, have you’all tried?
Looking over it, neither do I. must have been a mis-click or something.
hehe okay. Can anyone answer my original question?
it is still more than I can afford.
Why don’t you email Copeland, he should know…
I might, but I was hoping someone here could answer the question. I might be in the market for a flute but Copeland is not on my list of most wanted. It’s just another option.
My 10-year old Copeland appears to be cut for both left & right-handed play. A pretty decent flute, worth keeping.

I got to play a Copeland in Hobgoblin’s London store last weekend. It was used, 2004 model, so about a year old. Very nice it was too, sailed into the top end effortlessly. But they wanted £685 for it, which is dearer than the cost of a brand new one, so I passed. I could easily be tempted by a shiny new Copeland, but I’ve a Hammy on the way.
I also got to try an Arie De Keyzer, which I didn’t like so well… the headjoint felt (and was) curiously narrow-bore compared to other flutes I’ve played, and seemed oddly narrower than the body of the flute. Anyway, I didn’t buy that one either.
Hi folks,
I own Copeland #5 0f '04 in blackwood and wouldn’t trade it for the world. Right there with the few top makers.
