The exotic hardwood model, with silver parts. Experience a rich new sound in a traditional style head joint.

Handcrafted flute head joints by Rodger W. Young are now available upon request. The design features of this head joint incorporate a traditional parabolic bore with a modern lip plate design. We carve the embouchure holes entirely by hand. The embouchure design includes undercutting for tonal shading and overcutting for rapid base of movement throughout the registers.

There are four different styles of embouchure hole cut:

1. Standard, Cooper-style undercut
2. More pronounced Cooper-style undercut
3. Lesser undercut with sharper blowing wall (easier high register)
4. Lesser undercut with steeper blowing wall (offers lots of resistance and brighter sound)

Hand carving guarantees that each head joint is unique - matching one to your flute can produce surprising results.

We offer a range of materials including silver, gold, nickel and stainless steel.
