I just received a letter today from Flute World saying that Yamaha is not going to be offering the C# trill key on their 500 and up series. It is about time! I am happy. I guess they decided to get into the groove with the rest of the flute companies.

Oops.. it should say that Yamah is NOW not NOT going to be offereing the C# trill.....

Ha! At first I'm thinking um... how would getting into 'the groove' be by not offering it. Read what you write before you hit 'Post', Kate. I'll teach you that while you are trying to stuff Oz into your suitcase! =)

If they would have added that.. 4 months ago I would have bought the Yamaha hands down.. and my decision would have been 1000 times easier! :P 
But I really love my flute that I ended up getting, so its all good (I have a Pearl Dolce CODA and use a EC head, which works great for me!)

Well, i tried an older Powell today with the C# trill and split "E"-offest G. "a modern flute as far as all the bells and whistles,
So anyway....after fooling with the flute for a few minutes and a few hjs , said to the seller that I was having a problem with coordination between the fingers of my left hand (Going from C# to F), I thought that maybe the pad height was different than my flutes and that I wasn't getting things done with fiingerings. I asked the seller at the booth about the flute later and he said that it had those Straubinger pads and that it was recently overhauled. I then asked who did the overhaul and he skirted the issue. After examining the flute, I noticed at least two places which I would say were suspect in the pad seal. I thought that 8K for this used flute....not from my wallet.
<Added>
I should add that sometimes more pads can only complicate the adjustments. So, I'm not against split Es and C#s if they work and they continue to work.
