Pre-Owned Ian McLauchlan Style #3 Flute Headjoint

Our Description

Style options

Cut 3: This style is popular among players who prefer a headjoint with more resistance. This built-in resistance is especially useful when playing quietly, particularly in the third octave. Players are able to relax and produce a full and colourful sound at all dynamics. The mellowest of the three styles, with a bias towards a clean and elegant sound, even throughout all registers with a good 'Legato ' quality.

General Condition

This headjoint has been through our workshop prior to sale and is in excellent condition throughout. There are a couple of incredibly minor blemishes, but these will not impact the sound at all.
