Doug: I need a diagram of that 7.45pm for your wedge.
I think the 7.45 is the position I tried a few months ago when you first told me about it at the time I bought your larger hole mouthpiece, but I found that leaving the wedge on the floor of the flute, loose or fixed, gives me a reverberatingly loud response with either embouchure hole.
So I’d like to see a diagram of this proposed 7.45pm position, just to make sure I’ve got the right idea. Any chance?
All the best,
Keith.
I’ll take a SWAG…and assume that Doug is not using a 24 hour clock…what does not explain the PM…
where the hour hand is
embouchure at 12, player on the right sighting down the tube from the open end…
now if Doug is using a 24 hour clock then it is a bit before the X of 10 o’clock
'course it’s gonna be tricky with the tooth pick up there 
Denny, the PM designation is a joke, because, as we know, the position of 7:45 AM and 7:45 PM are the same. This is why the 24 hour clock helps relieve the confusion and the continual question, “Is that AM or PM?”. Your diagram of the hour hand at 7:45 shows where I try to position the wedge. I have a diagram of this on the bottom of the Fajardo wedge page at my website. https://sites.google.com/site/dougsflutes/thetipple-fajardowedge
Keith, if it works for your embouchure to have the wedge loose and positioned directly on the bottom of the flute bore, I would do it that way. With the Fajardo Wedge Headjoint, shown on the linked webpage, it is possible to rotate the endcap and thereby rotate the position of the wedge for different playing preferences.
4 years military and over twice that on time and attendance software,
I’m pretty good with 24 hour clocks 
I spent ages trying to explain 7:45 before I thought of googling for a clock face…
It was turning into a kinda property description thing 
Talk about sudden elucidation! That’s quick service. Many thanks, Denny and Doug.
I’ve just been fiddling with both my Tipple heads (small and large) and am amazed at the difference in tone and subtlety. I can only repeat this player’s excitement taken from Doug’s web page on the Fajardo flute:
“After purchasing a Tipple-Fajardo wedge for his 3-piece Tipple flute in white PVC, a musician in Ohio wrote, 'I’ve been playing my flute with your ‘magic wedge’, and I am extremely pleased with the transition. Immediately I noticed that the notes in the upper octave played tighter and on pitch, but even more impressive was the overall personality change of the flute itself. The wonderful in-your-face volume has been replaced by a sublime sweetness very indicative of a fine, African Blackwood Irish flute that I played awhile back. Yesterday I was playing a great Tipple flute. Today I’m playing a Tipple Stradivarius. This wedge has given my flute real soul.”
(My emphasis).
I shall now take a serious look at “tuning” this lovely neglected flute of mine. I feel as if I’ve been given a new, very expensive flute … So far, rather than leaving the wedge on the bottom of the flute, I’m finding a notable improvement in tone with it at 7.40. Clearly, some more fine tuning is required to see just how far this Fajardo wedge can affect the flute’s output. So far, I’m getting a more controlled, sweeter sound, still with that wonderfully vibrating Tipple volume and sense of immediate response.
My day has started very well indeed. Thank you gentlemen.

Thank you for the ‘magic wedge’ quote…
shouldn’t be too far to “Doug’s got a magic wedgie”
It’s good being over 2k miles away 
That’s not where you put it, Denny …

PS: Watch it, Doug’s been to Tofino. You’re not too far out of his way if he comes this way again, I’d guess … If he applies the wedgie where you seem to be suggesting it goes, tell us if he gets a good fourth octave B, eh?
ew, that would be one long cold swim…tell him to mind the tides
I’ve never been into the 4th octave…not even in the late 60s
but if Doug manages it, I’ll let ya know!
