Description
Feeling perhaps more dangerous, with moments of exhilaration, this headjoint is designed to inspire, challenge and spark the creativity and imagination of the flutist, allowing the discovery of new destinations for your sound and music-making.
The 5% gold is actually an alloy, where the gold is mixed/blended into the silver when it is molten metal. The result is a transformed tube that is neither purely silver nor gold, but as its name says, 5% gold!
Complex overtones, an easy legato and dolce in all registers, a lively attack, an easy projection, combined with a wide and flexible color and dynamic spectrum makes this headjoint a satisfying and popular choice.
