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. Very popular among professional flute players.

General Condition

This headjoint has been checked in our workshop and is in very good condition throughout. There are some minor blemishes across the headjoint, including on the lip plate, but these do not affect the sound.
