I want to try out some more headjoints for my flute. I'm especially interested in gold headjoints. The thing is, none of my local music stores carry a variety of flute headjoints. Just the basic student flutes. Do any of you all know of any flute fairs or stores in the south east that will have a variety of headjoints to try?

Places like Carolyn Nussbaum, J.L. Smith, and Fluteworld will all send headjoints out for trial.

That is how I bought my 14K Williams HJ from Carolyn Nussbaum(I also tried Sheridan and Goosman). Headjoints are very personal. I had a friend that tried out 12 different Williams HJs and hated all of them. He ended up buying a 14K Brannen HJ.

I have a number of friends that like Lafin, but they are pricey, about $7225 for a 14K one:

In the southeast, try J.L. Smith in Charlotte NC.

That's where I bought my gold headjoint. Also, they usually come to the Hampton Roads Flute Faire in Norfolk VA. The next Flute Faire is April 16, 2011.
