Fliphead AM-1 Whistle Mouthpiece Kit for Flute

The Fliphead comes as a complete Bundle with Headjoint, Thumb Rest and protective Pouch. You can choose between our original Fliphead mouthpiece or our lastest "Flow"-model.

When playing vertical flute, our clip on thumb rest is a helpful tool to balance the flute easily. The thumb rest is part of every Fliphead bundle and can also be ordered as a single item.

The easy to learn embouchure makes the Fliphead ideal for beginners of all ages, that will literally play the first scale in just a few minutes.

Experienced woodwind players enjoy the unique sound the Fliphead offers and folk flutists use it as a fully chromatic whistle that works in all keys.

Due to its easy to learn embouchure, the Fliphead can be a perfect transition from sax to flute playing. With Fliphead the sax-section in school bands, lab bands and jazz orchestras can start doubling on flute easily.

We offer 2 different mouthpiece designs: the initial Fliphead model and the latest Flow model. Both pieces have their own sound and playing feel. The mouthpieces are interchangeable and can be used with the same neck, if you already own a Fliphead bundle. We offer our bundles equipped with one or the other mouthpiece. Our mouthpieces pieces are machined accurately in a one-piece-design (laser-sintered, not 3D-printed or injection-molded!). The material is very durable, scratchproof, biocompatible and has excellent sound qualities.

Our initial Fliphead model has an open wind way and a large chamber. It has very little resistance and creates an open sound. The high register is louder and needs more air compared to the Flow model. Sax players who are used to play open mouthpieces often prefer this model over the Flow model. 

The new Flow model has a narrow wind way and a smaller chamber size. It has slightly more resistance. Players that want to use less air - especially in the high register - will like the new Flow model. This one is a good choice for classical players and beginners or can be a second sound option. The sound is less spread and slightly softer. It also helps to play longer notes.
