    Since it isn't easiest to see this in a photo, the best way to describe alignment of the flute is this:

    Head to body: Align the far edge of the embouchure hole with an imaginary center line through the keys of the body. This works for approximately 75% of players, see this page for more info on alignment: www.jennifercluff.com/lineup.htm

    Body to foot: Align so that the rods of the foot are centered with an imaginary center line through the keys of the body. ...this is only a starting place however for this, some people find that it works better for them slightly off from this position, one way or the other.
