Choose Your Perfect Headjoint

The curved headjoint brings the body of the flute closer to the player reducing the reach necessary on an Alto Flute. The straight headjoint produces an open, airy tone with less resistance. Both boast .925 solid silver lip plates for a spectrum of rich tonal colors. Select your preferred headjoint or switch between them depending on the music and your mood.

Innovative Design for Comfort and Playability
