Sterling Silver Tenon Tube (see "The Importance of a Proper Fit" below.)

get a big, beautiful sound
and master those difficult high notes.
You can achieve both of these goals - INSTANTLY - with the J. Novo acrylic headjoint
.

(P.S. If you're not a flutist, this beautiful acrylic headjoint makes a great surprise gift for that special flutist in your life!)
The secret to having a big, gorgeous, and beautiful flute sound is no longer a secret thanks to Mr. Juan Novo, maker of the world
renowned
J. Novo ultra-thin wooden flute headjoint.
Controlled scientific tests have finally confirmed that 95 – 98% of the tone color of the flute (the “sound” of the flute) is produced only by the headjoint and by the headjoint alone. The headjoint, therefore, is the most important part of the flute in regards to how the flute will sound when it is played. Thus, the headjoint is the heart of the flute. It is through the headjoint that the air column inside the flute is energized, set on fire, and brought to life in a musical phrase
.
Many flutists have discovered that nothing beats the big and rich sound of a wooden flute, and as Mr. Novo has repeatedly proven, a wooden headjoint on a metal flute
will produce the same tonal quality of sound as a flute made entirely of wood. However, this acrylic headjoint produces a sound that can only be described by just one word:
HEAVENLY!
If you are looking for a
new adventure in sound, great articulation, and an easy to play high register, this is the headjoint for you.
It can also be illuminated during performance for that extra kick!
Theobald Boehm, inventor of the flute

A NOTE ON USING GIMMICKS TO
IMPROVE YOUR METAL HEADJOINT
There are several products being sold today that claim to improve or enhance the performance of the metal headjoint that comes with a metal flute (silver, gold, etc). Some of these are gimmicks that really don’t do very much, and yet there are some that do improve the playability of the metal headjoint to some degree and it is these that I want to talk about here. Even though this “improvement” is mainly felt and experienced only by the player (because the headjoint is so close to the player’s ear) and not by the audience the player is playing to, it nevertheless is a good thing since it helps the player to enjoy his playing experience more than he had before.
HOWEVER, there is a BIG problem here, and it is this: THE PLAYER IS STILL STUCK WITH THE SOUND COMING FROM A METAL HEADJOINT! So, no matter how much the metal headjoint may or can be improved by whatever means: a different crown, stopper, cork replacement resonator,
whatever it may be,
the headjoint is still going to sound like a metal headjoint
with shrill high notes and wispy low registers. Please keep this reality in mind as you search for a better sounding headjoint.
