The Medium Wave model embouchure hole has very slightly raised side edges. This cut gently channels the airstream to help with focus, responsiveness and consistency. Clear, focused articulation is enhanced with this cut which offers stability for the player without thinning the sound. Seasoned and professional players will especially appreciate this level of control when frequently switching between flute and piccolo.
Mopane elicits a strong, yet sweet, sound. Similar to Grenadilla in depth, feel and clear articulation response, it is very resonant and powerful. Mopane imparts a darker quality in the upper register that emerges from the smooth, rich lower registers.
This exotic wood is from Southern Africa. Its appearance is dark reddish-brown, with black stripes, and tends to darken with age.
