Special
Features
- Multi-Coat Plating refers to a special plating process
that we use to enhance the tone quality of our instruments. The
tone will be fuller and richer at all dynamic levels.
- Offset
G Key is important for young players because it allows
for a small hand to reach the G key with greater ease. As
they become more comfortable with their finger placement,
the player may want to move onto an In-line G key design
type flute. This feature is typically found on more
advanced or professional instruments.
- Split
E Mechanism is intended to improve the pitch and control
of the high E. This note is problematic for
most flutists and is corrected by having a split E key
mechanism. Available on our offset G type design
flutes. The split E mechanism closes off the upper
G keys, which in turn forces the air to flow through the
lower tone hole. This process of redirecting the airflow
will improve the centering of the pitch and the overall
control of the note.

Our clarinets are very popular with
students because of their easy response, smooth key action
and beautiful tone. The scale is even and our instruments
respond well at all dynamic levels. Quality and
durability are also key features for our line.
Special
Features
- Plastic body instruments are intended
to be more cost effective and require less maintenance.
- Grenadilla Wood instruments will
have a warmer, richer tone that is more resonant. Wood
requires more care and maintenance than plastic instruments
and are more susceptible to cracking due to temperature
and humidity changes. Thorough cleaning and periodic
bore oil treatments will help to prevent the wood from
cracking.
- Under cut tone holes will greatly
improve the response and fluidity of the scale of the
instrument. This feature is usually found
on instruments that cost considerably more than ours. This
is a standard feature on all of our clarinets.
