Wooden Headjoint for Silver Flute
Wooden Headjoint for Silver Flute
I am looking to purchase a wooden headjoint for my Gemeinhardt. Any recommendations? I prefer to try before I buy, but since I'm in Ohio and not leaving for the next while that's not likely. So, I need some good advice!
Thanks!

Chris Abell makes a headjoint for boehm flute. I couldn't imagine it being anything less than incredible. http://www.abellflute.commeghanem wrote:I am looking to purchase a wooden headjoint for my Gemeinhardt. Any recommendations?

Hi Meg
Mark Hoza makes very good head-joints for boehm flutes.
http://www.woodenflutemaker.com
I have a Wooden flute of his which I'm very happy with.
Good Luck Mark F
( PS. MArk H. lives in Australia so it will be a bit hard to try one out first)

I love it. It made a huge difference in the tone (darker, richer),

Here's a vendor list for Wooden Headjoints, compiled by John Levine for the Boehm flute list:
http://www.larrykrantz.com/woodmake.htm
Check 'em out for yourself, or search for opinions on the vendors. Myself, I'd lean toward one by Chris Abell, Robert Bigio, perhaps Howel Roberts. This is not to say that other vendors may not be as suitable.

- Tell us something.: I play the first flute Jon Cochran ever made but haven't been very active on the board the last 9-10 years. Life happens I guess...I owned a keyed M&E flute for a while and I kind of miss it.

Yes but it's a Wimberley who specializes in making metal headjoints for metal flutes that allow a player to make a more woody sound, not that I have tried one but Jesse may have a comment to make here on how she found it worked out.

Hello everyone,
stepping out of lurk mode (briefly), I use a Hoza head on a yamaha 784 as my main flute for non irish and non classical performances. It has a very rich tone. When I first got it , I was using it on my workhorse flute, an emerson model 8, and a friend who I often play with made the observation that the old metal head was like a cheap white wine and the hoza was like an expensive rich red. Many people have made good comments about its sound. I don't think it sounds like a conical bore simple system flute, but it has its own charm. There is a video of it being used on the emerson at
http://www.xenovibes.com in the videos section. The song is "I verity" and is extremly non-ITM.
If anyone is intrested, I could record some isish tunes with it.

Both Peter Noy and Terry McGee also make wooden headjoints for Boehm tooters.
