Pre-Owned Dana Sheridan Solid Handmade Flute Headjoint

Our Description

This headjoint is in excellent condition and plays beautifully. There are a couple of surface marks to the headjoint tube, but these do not affect its playability.

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.
