Sankyo Headjoint
The headjoint and embouchure hole are considered the most important parts of the flute since they enable the flutist to produce and control the sound. With Sankyo headjoints both edges of the embouchure have been slightly rounded and the plate height and embouchure have been altered to allow for a larger and richer variety of tones. Sankyo offers several types of headjoint styles to suit the preference of different flutists. Sankyo headjoints are available in Sterling silver, .997 Pure Silver, 10k Gold, 14k Gold, and Grenadilla wood.
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.
