ah yes, i thought to myself afterwards, "I wonder what it sounds like?"David Migoya wrote:they don't really "play" like the cone flutes. The resistance is much different. I don't get the same "feel" from the bottom notes, although the upper registers into 3rd and 4th octave are very much on.
for what it's worth
if you'd like a photo or perhaps measurements, simply ask.

If measurements and photos aren't any trouble, then yes, I'm very interested in seeing them. I've been getting more into my flute studies as of late. The conical timbre happens because of the different harmonics strengthened by the resultant air wave reflected back from the open hole to the embouchure, which is obviously going to be different in a conical vs. cylindrical flute, right? Which also makes sense as to why cylindrical flutes are more in tune as you start going up the octaves, dividing and dividing the waves in half. Am I kinda on track there?
cheers!
