It should be much the same. But for many flutes, key heights, within reason, are not that critical. They are very easy for a technician to adjust.

Question for the technician! I asked you about the sax a while back, but now I also play the the flute and I was wondering: Should the G key be higher than the other keys while it is NOT depressed? Lemme know please!!

You're most welcome. I dig it (epistle on open v closed holes) up from time to time, if I think it can be of any use. It did take a long time to initially asemble, and could probably do with some updating.

I have a high degree of individuality. Uniquneness. "Weird" is a term for putting others down, usually in attempt to elevate oneself. Not saying that is the case for you.

What does "Out of the square" mean?
Outside the norm.
In some important aspects, my approach to life is rather different from what may be considered typical or normal.
