Testing Out the Modified Notch on my Custom Flute

I dreamt about the flute last night. In the dream, I found that the notvh was crooked relative to the body of the flute, and by correcting it i was able to get an easier playing and stronger sounding flute.

When I first examined it this morning, I thought the dream had been wrong - but on further inspection I realized it was actually true! How had I overlooked this!? I still dont have a round file to work with, but I could work on modifying this to get it straightened out a bit - just with the tools I do have.

I used a hacksaw to straighten the back end, sandpaper to modifut the angle, and a sanding wheel to try to get the interior wall thickness a little more uniform.
