The middle section of the R&R Eb model is compatible with the R&R medium flute in D. (However there is a slight restriction concerning the intonation of the lower notes when combined with a keyed foot joint in D).
As the head joints of the Eb model and the Rudalls in D are the same, an Eb flute body with its own foot joint is therefore also compatible with the the head joint of the R&R large.
