Matusi Buzzing Headjoint
The sterling silver Matusi headjoint, fitted with a vibrating membrane operated by a key, is an invention of Matthias Ziegler and worked out by Eva Kingma, an innovative flutemaker from The Netherlands. Created in Kingma's workshop by David Kerkhof, Matusi headjoints allow a quick switch between a dark, pure flute sound and a buzzing tone, useful for the increasing number of modern compositions that use this type of buzzing tone, many written for Gudrun Hinze, especially, and her flute quintet.
The Matusi sound is audible here, in this transcription for flute quintet of Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre.
