Ian McLauchlan Flute Headjoint with 9k Rose Riser and Adler Wings
(1) 
Our Description
Ian McLauchlan makes flute headjoints by hand on our premises, and in addition to the styles we stock, he can produce custom headjoints in consultation with you to develop your perfect flute combination.
All McLauchlan headjoints are supplied with a medium-weight crown for enhanced projection, and a Dual-Chamber stopper which enhances resonance.
This headjoint is one of our most popular, and incorporates Adler wings - small, wing-shaped darts of metal designed to improve the strength of the low harmonics in the sound, thus producing a very round and full tone colour. Due to the position of the wings, the low notes are enhanced without causing any negative effect to the high register.

Ian's headjoints are undoubtedly one of the best available, combining response advantages of modern development with the tonal range of the earlier French traditions.
