French-Style Open Hole Keys
The open hole French-style keys of the GFL11GS flute give you exceptional control over technique and intonation. Covering and uncovering the holes with your fingertips allows you to shape each note with subtle variations in color. Harmonics speak with clarity. Articulation gains definition through the direct connection of flesh on silver. Intonation can be adjusted on the fly by ear. The open hole keys make the flute a true extension of your musicianship.
Offset G Key and Pointed French Arms
The offset G key and French pointed key arms help your hands find a natural, relaxed position. The G key shifted slightly to the right gets your left hand into proper alignment. Pointed key arms direct your fingers to the ideal contact points. Together, these ergonomic enhancements reduce strain, allowing your hands to flourish with ease. Comfort fuels technique, letting you concentrate on the music.
Sterling Silver Body With Drawn Toneholes
Further complementing the tonal qualities of the sterling silver head joint, the GFL11GS flute body also utilizes the highest grade of silver. Its drawn tone holes contribute to a vibrant resonance. Every nuance of your playing gets amplified with crystalline clarity. The sterling silver construction gives the flute a bright, singing voice to carry above any ensemble.
Low B Foot Joint Extends Range for Increased Versatility
With the low B foot joint, the GFL11GS flute extends down a full octave lower than a traditional C flute. Now you can access the bottom B key on the piano. The expanded range allows you to explore repertoire calling for the low register. It also gives you more options when improvising or composing.
