Headjoint Styles

ST - Standard lip plate with a riser that balances the full range. Warm and expressive, allowing for spin and projection with smooth fluidity.

RT - Round top, modern design lip plate that aims for a quick response and strong low register coupled with a riser that favors the low register. Full, dark, strong tone able to achieve a powerful sound.

FT - Flat top, mixes characteristics of both ST and RT cuts. Strong throughout, especially in the high register.
