- Embouchure Hole: The oval embouchure hole facilitates the production of a bigger and smoother sound, making your musical experience even more enjoyable.
- Tuning Slide Head Joint: The tuning slide head-joint extends up to 30mm, allowing for a pitch adjustment of 30Hz. As the flute warms up during play, it naturally becomes sharper in pitch.
