B/C convertible footjoint: A cleverly-designed, 3- piece footjoint that can be used as either a B or a C footjoint. It is designed for the flutist who prefers a C footjoint, but sometimes needs a low B.

This roller facilitates movement between the D#, C#, and C keys on the footjoint.

Please see separate section on headjoints.

A different way of cutting toneholes to produce a more consistent tone quality over the register break. Those who prefer this modification find it creates a freer blowing flute. This modification is always used on gold (tube) and platinum flutes unless we are asked to omit it.

An additional trill key that moves several left hand fingering combinations to the right hand and simplifies a number of trills. Please see C# trill for a more complete description of the uses and benefits of this key.

An additional mechanism that provides a more secure high E natural and improves its articulation. It does not alter the pitch of any notes.

A much less expensive alternative to the Split E mechanism, this insert also provides a more secure high E natural. Some players notice a slight flattening of the A natural in the first and second octaves.

These extensions allow a flutist with hand problems to re-configure the keys in more comfortable ways.

An almost endless variety of key alterations designed to meet an individual flutist's needs when key extensions are not the appropriate solution. Designs such as our angled footjoint cluster have helped make the flute more comfortable for many flutists.
