Flute FAQs
What is a B footjoint?A B footjoint extends the flute’s range down to B3. Beyond the extra note, it adds resonance, depth, and a mellow tonal character across registers — ideal for advanced repertoire and orchestral work.
What is an offset G?The offset G makes playing more comfortable and natural, particularly for smaller hands, reducing strain and improving control.
What is a split E mechanism?The split E strengthens intonation and tone when playing high E, making it more stable and reliable — a crucial advantage for advanced passages.
What are the benefits of open holes?Open holes open creative doors: richer tonal colours, extended techniques (slides, multiphonics, microtones), and better tonal variation. Recommended from Grade 6 upwards. Tone hole plugs are included to ease the transition.
