JUPITER Wave Student Flute | JFL700 WEO

The Loop Concept

A relaxed posture, a straight back and a calm breathing are prerequisites for a lively sound and the joys that music brings. This is only possible with musical instruments that are adapted to the player’s body. In the hands of a child, a traditional flute may cause tenseness that quickly leads to fatigue and discourages players from persevering.

As early as in the 1980s, JUPITER came up with the brilliant idea of a flute with a curved headjoint to counter this effect. The so-called U-shaped headjoint enabled small children to play the flute using a natural posture.

The new loop concept and the patented Waveline™ Flutes were designed by Altus Founder, Shuichi Tanaka and are a refinement of JUPITER’s endeavour to encourage young players to pick up the flute. This concept is now available in different sizes and ranges, which are perfect matches for the bodies of young players of different age groups.

Healthy Posture

The single most important aspect for improving one’s posture is the right position of the spinal column.

From a medical point of view:
In her diploma thesis, “Causes, Analysis and Prevention of Disorders in the Musculoskeletal System of Flautists Aged Between 15 and 18”, Ms. Ursula Matejka states:

“Flautists are especially affected by the asymmetrical position of their instrument. (…) An oversized instrument at an early age is likely to cause spine problems later on in life.”

Advantages Over a Curved Headjoint:

• Fatigue-free and easy on the back

• Stable position for a perfect tone-shaping technique

• Relaxed finger positions

• Optimal intonation

• Facilitates the development of correct embouchure and finger technique

• Fast progress

Enjoy learning by having fun

Faster progress and an easy-to-handle instrument appeal to pupils and teachers alike. The “enjoyment of learning” principle is fun, motivates and removes any sense of pressure or frustration.
