NAGAHARA Flute Headjoint | 950 Silver w/ Blackwood Lip-Plate & Crown

Nagahara headjoints have steadily earned a reputation for their beautiful sound, projection, and range of colours. They strike a perfect balance between classic design with modern innovation. All of our headjoints are designed and individually handmade by Kanichi Nagahara.

Every step of the design and production of a Nagahara headjoint, even down to the unique taper of the tube and the specific curve of the lip-plate, are meticulously calculated to ensure the consistent quality for which Nagahara flutes are famous. The end result of this perfectionism is an instrument that frees you from your technical worries and allows you to project your musical soul.

EMBOUCHURE CUTS

Modern - Clear and bold with artistic resistance through all registers; close to the feel of a metal headjoint but with more grain and texture in the sound. Offers edge in the sound and projects greatly with ease.

Classic - Of medium resistance, very responsive and elegant in tone. Very much preferred for classical era music, such as Mozart. Dazzling with a light and expressive tonal quality.

Baroque - Provides an easeful tone with more traditional characteristics, delicate and a tubular tone projection with a hollow aura in the sound. Perfect for the Baroque style of music.
