  • Durability Brilliance: Crafted from Indian Cocobolo wood, known for its friendly nature that resists cracking even in extreme weather conditions or if accidentally dropped, it offers low maintenance compared to Grenadilla wood.
  • 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. A tuning slide allows for the flute's head to be adjusted in or out as needed. A flute without a sliding head can be challenging for players.
