Wooden Flute Headjoint in Boehm’s system
To construct these headjoint I use solutions, which have been known and used to make flutes since the 16th century as well as my own solutions – the shape of the mouthpiece, the thickness of the „chimney” of the mouthpiece, internal angles of the gape, the diameter of the cannal etc. Each headjoint is made on special, individual request to meet to the musician’s expectations. At the moment I make headjoints to the following types of flutes: Yamaha, Pearl, Muramatsu, Powell, Miyazawa , Suzuki, Hammig, etc. These headjoints are for the flute players who are searching for new means of expression for their instrument. They are excellent to play professionally chamber music and solo music as well as to play in symphonic orquestra,
GT headjoints are produced from the following types of wood: lapacho, boxwood, plum, black oak, ebony, rosewood.
