Rudall & Rose Flutes (in D)
For this flute, I took my inspiration from the instruments crafted by Rudall & Rose. The bore and the holes are medium-sized. This instrument has astonishing precision, finesse and richness of timbre.
Optional:
Pratten Flutes (in D)
This type of flute has a slightly larger bore and holes than the previous model. It has a powerful yet flexible volume. Based on an original R.S. Pratten flute design, I developed this instrument to obtain a sound that I found to be well-balanced across the entire tessitura. The central body is in two parts. At the outset, this instrument is highly flattering to play, but it reveals its full potential after continued practice.
Optional:
Whistle (in D)
This instrument has a conical bore, relatively small holes and its own tuning slide. I wanted to bestow a soft timbre, rich in harmonics. It allows excellent precision during play, and requires relatively little lung power. For reasons of stability, I made the head out of polymer. The body is made from Mopane.
Heads for classic flutes
I offer two types of wooden headjoints for Böhm system classical flutes:
The headjoint with an Irish-style embouchure, which subtly adjusts the tone of your classical flute, bringing it closer to the sound of an Irish flute. Ideal for those who wish to play Irish repertoire on their classical instrument.
The headjoint with a classical embouchure, designed for traditional use, offering response and comfort tailored to classical repertoire.
The headjoint must be fitted to your instrument.
