Y’know that little notch on the end of your cleaning rod?

There’s a reason that’s there. It’s to check the placement of your head crown/cork assembly. If your flute is consistently playing out of tune/airy regardless of your posture/embouchure/head joint placement, your cork assembly might be out of place.

To check, insert the notched end of your cleaning rod as far as it will do into the head joint of your flute. Don’t push it against the head cork plate.

The notch should be in the exact middle of the embouchure hole.

If the notch is too far down, tighten the head crown slightly to pull the cork assembly upwards until the notch is in the middle.

If it’s too far up, loosen the head crown until the notch is in the middle.

Each full twist of the head crown will move the cork assembly up or down 1 millimeter.
