First, we are going to start with head joint. The head joint is the first part of the flute that flute players tend to upgrade. You can upgrade the head joint of your flute only and it can drastically change the sound that you are able to get from your flute. Although the rest of the flute does matter and change the tone and sound of the flute, nothing changes it nearly as much as a change to a head joint. The parts that we are going to discuss in this post are the following:
- Head Joint Materials
- Crowns/Corks
- Risers
- Lip Plates/Engraving
- Embouchure Hole Cutting
- Maker Logo
- Uncommon Head Joints
- Things to Consider When Buying a Head Joint.
- Links to head joint makers
