Hi abbledy,
I bet your flute sounds amazing. I have never tried a Goosman head on my Powell yet. That sounds interesting.
My goal someday when I am super rich (yeah right!) is to get a vintage Powell made by Verne Q Powell himself.

And just think, powell`s first flutes were made of melted silverware
