Manufacturer's Description

In the summer of 2018, professional flautist Andy Findon visited the workshop of Red Kite Flutes, makers of handcrafted wooden world instruments.

It was here, over a cup of tea, that the idea for a hybrid between the classical flute and world flute families was born. The team at RKF immediately set to work creating various physical interpretations of the concept, including both end and side blown options.

The explorative phases took several forms both in dimensions, playability and timber selection. This was to ensure that the mouthpiece was not only aesthetically harmonious when combined with the body of the classical flute, but most importantly producing the desired warm acoustic tones of their quality world instruments, with the same functionality of its classical counterpart.

During the creative process the artists at RKF applied their knowledge from their world instruments whilst tapping into the extensive professional experience that Andy had to offer, culminating in a product that has the influence of passionate makers and players alike. Since the final prototype was completed, Andy has thoroughly enjoyed playing his RKF Philharmonic Mouthpiece, making full use of its acoustic diversity during many commercial recording sessions.

We are pleased to be able to offer this new musical innovation to the market so that everyone may experience the same unique sounds created by combining the acoustic character of a world instrument with the chromatic range of a classical instrument.

Key Features

  • Side blown directly into the mouthpiece, removing the barriers that embouchure blown head joints create.
  • Sterling Silver tubing, providing a superior joint between the mouthpiece and flute barrel.
  • At least two and a half accessible octaves depending on the players ability.
  • Warm acoustic and visual tones created by the natural characteristics of the timber selection.

Standard RKF Philharmonic

The ‘Standard RKF Philharmonic’ is made using Beech for the main body with an Oak mouth piece and an Oak block adorning the top.

The Standard model produces a warm, more raw wooden tone that evokes the acoustic notes of nature.

Signature RKF Philharmonic

The ‘Signature RKF Philharmonic’ is made using Sycamore for the mouth piece and main body, with an Oak band, cap and block.

The Signature model also produces a warm natural sound, but is more rounded and crisp in its note formation.
