Low notes trouble 🙏🏻
I have just upgraded to gold flute and having difficulty playing the low B, C & C#. I ordered the flute and happened to receive a headjoint with higher resistance, and a bit smaller sized embouchure hole(so less loud). I am a bit disappointed with this but I cannot return it and get refunded, so I can only learn to adapt to it. I have made good progress learning to play it but last few low notes are still rather weak. I do not have this problem on my other flute. This new flute has soldered tone hole and standard (felt?) pads, which maybe adding to the playing difficulty. I am already playing harmonics, and trying to find the sweet spot, but even when directing the air straight down it still plays with weak sound. Please give me some tips?
P.s. the picture is for size comparison of the embouchure hole with my other flute.
