Jbutky,
That one flute is a little intimidating. I am afraid I might loose a digit trying to manipulate it. Very COOL!
I was joking about not playing anything below a D, but those are some really cool footjoints. It's kind of cool that Gemeindhardt made something like that.
I tried one of those BoPeep hand rests and my complaint is that it is too hard. I know that the flute is hard but it seemed as though my streathing to close the hole on the G key was even more exaggerated.
The thumb ports that I got from flute world are made of a kind of rubber. If they made a hand rest like that, I might be willing to try it again. I am still wanting an off set get flute of course.
The thumb port did help with the footjoint quite a bit. It keeps my thumb from bending backward and shortening the reach of my fingers. At least that is what I think is going on with my hands. It does help.
Can't wait to see what else you guys come up with.

Vamp, I don't care for any of those hard thumb ports and such either. I use the soft side of sticky back velcro and it is much softer and does the trick cheap and feels good.
I did make some flute key extensions in the past and if I ever find the CD that the pictures of them are on, I will load them in here. These are the only two I could find at the moment...

I have a Samick flute that has a very comfortable angled footjoint. It is interesting. The flute is made in Korea and I have never seen or heard of one until now. It is actually quite nice.

I do not know why "flutelab" would be turning down or trying to restrict free advertising. The links clearly show "flutelab", and Susie DID mention FLUTELAB.
I am glad Suzie mentioned flutelab as I just had a friend ask me yesterday about how her daughter can learn flute when her hands are too small to hit the keys. And yes, I will refer her to flutelabs site.
From a legal standpoint I would quesiton why there is no warning on the wedsite page and why protection to prevent copying was not installed (an easy thing to do). Also from the legal side there was just a recent court decision that sets presidence on forums and discussion groups which does allow mention of and use of photos, descriptions, links, and opinions of sites and their services regardless of copyright.
So, anyone who is irked, just sit back, take deep breath, and relaize, "It is good".
