Manufacturing
A lot of time and precision goes into the making of our flutes. We use an advanced sealing technique which ensures that the flute doesn't leak precious air and enables you to produce that all important strong low D.
Our careful and precise tuning process during the manufacturing stage means you can play each note in tune with confidence and ease leaving you to focus on your performance and our tuning slide ensures you’ll always be able to adjust the pitch to adapt to any playing situation from a session environment to outdoor recitals and everything in between.
