Pre-Owned Dana Sheridan Solid Flute Headjoint with 14k Rose Riser

Our Description

Dana Sheridan is widely regarded as one of the finest flute headjoint makers. Originally from the United States, he has worked with the Wm. S. Haynes, Verne Q. Powell (becoming manager in 1981) and Brannen Brothers flute companies before introducing Sheridan flutes and head joints in 1982.

Sheridan headjoints are meticulously hand-built to produce an even, responsive sound in all registers. They offer a wide range of tonal and dynamic possibilities with stable pitch, ease of articulation and provide a balanced resistance to produce a warm, flexible sound. The addition of a 14k red riser lends a darker quality to this sound. Very popular among professional flute players.

General Condition

This headjoint has been through our workshop and has had a new headcork fitted and is in good overall condition. It has some minor surface scratches.
