Guo "Phonic" Silver Flute Crown, 7 Chambers
Our Description
The Guo Phonic flute crown is the latest innovation from flute creator Geoffrey Guo. This unique crown is hollowed out on the inside into a number of chambers, cut in a subtle spiral pattern. The theory is that this gives the resonating chamber a range of lengths, rather than a fixed length; and that this "helps" each note find its natural wavelength. The theory follows that the tuning of the partials within each note are much more accurate, meaning each note is more in tune, more easily hit and more resonant.
About Guo Musical Instrument Co
The Guo Musical Instruments Company had its humble beginnings in 1988. Although their initial handcrafted flutes offered only minor alterations to the original Boehm system, in 2003 the company introduced the Cermet Flute, thereby marking the beginning of what has become a devoted journey into the innovation of flute manufacture and design. This initial step, which remains a hallmark of all GMIC flutes to this day, was characterised by the exclusive use of computerised engineering for all aspects of an instrument construction and design. This allows for a level of consistency and reliability that had simply never been available by any other previous method.
