Thanks guys for your answers and reasonings! :)

Has passed some time during which I played on this flute much. I played much, yes. I even have bought to myself a portable tuner always to have it with myself though I expect dissatisfied smiles of those who speaks, that the tuner not must to be used for ITM ;)
Yes, the tuner has shown me, that 'F#' is flat, 'B' is sharp, 'A' is little sharp, and more about tuning this flute...
But - the tuner has prompted the most important to me as it is necessary to blow to make tuning of flute correct. I simply looked at an arrow(a pointer) of a tuner and played slow simple melodies.

Know, it how to throw nuts in the empty buckets placed around in darkness. Only the casual sound can prompt you, you have got in a bucket or the nut only has fallen to a floor. A lot of time is required to grope nuts all buckets around of you. It is a lot of time and many nuts.
Buckets are notes of a flute for me. Nuts is my blowing. And the tuner is a small lamp, which I have included to see where buckets stand. I have simply remembered their position, and I can throw nuts in them now in darkness :))))

Considerable role in my problem my first flute - Dixon 3-piece Polymer has played. It has absolutely opposite tuning, than Hammy's, and I have got used to this for one and a half year.
It was very difficult to be retrained for a new flute, and I at once was frightened, that tunig is incorrect.
But now I cannot take in hands Dixon - I play not in a melody with it though, if to be more attentive, I am capable to force to play it well. But Hamilton can play much, much better! :)

Therefore, my conclusions:
1. To each flute time for accustoming is required, and it will be not one day, and can be, not one week.
2. When you get used to a flute, your mouth itself feels, how it is necessary to be to force it to sound better and better.
3. I am confident, that some deviations 'F#' and 'B' take place to make sounding other notes and balance of octaves more good.
4. There is no special complexity in that, having got used, to play these notes in a tune.
4*. The more with concentration and vigorously to play on this flute, the these notes become more exact in a melody even without change of a corner of inflation.
:) 5. Hamilton Flute - Incredibly beautiful flute with a fantastic sound and opportunities! It can play silently and tenderly as singing of the child, and can bark and bite, roar as a waterfall. I am absolutely happy with it! :)))

I couldn't find anything that I liked better at the time.

The post deserved better.
