Our Description

Style options

Cut 1: This free-blowing headjoint gives good projection in all three registers, with a wide range of tone colours. All difficult areas, such as middle E, high G# and A, are well-matched, giving a truly even sound throughout all registers.

Cut 2: The extra resistance of this headjoint gives a very stable top octave, especially when playing quietly. Good projection and a wide range of colours are a feature. Articulation is clean and even throughout all registers.

Cut 3: This style is popular among players who prefer a headjoint with more resistance. This built-in resistance is especially useful when playing quietly, particularly in the third octave. Players are able to relax and produce a full and colourful sound at all dynamics. The mellowest of the three styles, with a bias towards a clean and elegant sound, even throughout all registers with a good 'Legato ' quality.
