CK Brass Flute Headjoint With Solid Lip & Riser

Manufacturer's Description

CK Headjoints impress first of all with their appearance. Designed in 2016 in collaboration with the flutist André Salm of the Bamberg symphonic orchestra, they were ready to go into serial production in 2019. The headjoints’ tube consists of gold brass (85% copper, 15% zinc) or red brass (95% copper, 5% zinc). Even Th. Böhm was of the opinion that next to silver, brass is the best material for the building of metal flutes.

The headjoints have a vintage look. Exceptionally, the embouchure plate is not formed from a silver plate, it is cast instead, which means that the mouth hole riser doesn’t have to be soldered on. The headjoints are available with a silver or gold finish or made entirely from precious metal. Another newly designed feature is the tuning cork which is built into every CK Headjoint. Instead of a traditional head cork, there is a narrow rubber disc which doesn’t dampen the vibrations from the pipe as much, allowing for an easier response.
