                                                                 The Secret Is Out!
 

It is no longer a secret that the flute’s tonal quality is produced by the headjoint alone. Controlled scientific tests have finally confirmed that 95 - 98% of the tone color of the flute (the “sound” of the flute) is produced only by the headjoint, and by the headjoint alone. The headjoint, therefore, is the most important part of the flute. It is the heart of the flute. It is through the headjoint that the air column inside the flute is energized, set on fire, and brought to life in a musical phrase.

Many flutists are now discovering that nothing beats the sound of a wooden flute. However, a wooden headjoint on a metal flute will produce the same tonal quality of sound as a flute made entirely of wood. So, if you own a metal flute (silver plated, sterling silver, or gold), but you like the warm, rich, full, and big sound produced by a wooden flute and perhaps are thinking of purchasing one, save your money! The J. Novo wooden headjoint is the answer for you. Thanks to Mr. Novo and his clients, many flutists are discovering that you don't have to spend a lot of money buying a solid silver, gold, or platinum flute to get a fabulous, professional sound. On the contrary! With the J. Novo wooden headjoint, you don't have to spend that kind of money at all!

Professional flutists who perform and record using the J. Novo wooden headjoint includes: Grammy award winner Jazz flutist Dave Valentin, Loren Lind (Philadelphia Orchestra), Jazz legend Ira Sullivan, Dave Watson (Alicia Keys), Nestor Torres, and many others. These well-known artists purchased their own J. Novo headjoints and did not receive them for free in exchange for an endorsement. They do not officially endorse the J. Novo headjoint. They play them because they like them and are absolutely delighted with them, and of course, we want you to know that.

And while it is true that any of these pros can sound great even on a Bundy headjoint, the fact is they sound fantastic on the J. Novo wooden headjoint, and as you and I know, there's nothing wrong with getting an even bigger and richer sound than the one you already have. In fact, this is precisely why they purchased them! And now you too can have a fantastic sound as well.

Mr. Valentin was selected by music arranger Dave Grusin to play one of Mr. Novo's wooden headjoints on the soundtrack of the major motion picture HAVANA, starring Robert Redford, because of the beautiful tone it produced.

A Cautionary Word

Many thinned wooden headjoints on the market today resemble the J. Novo headjoint on the outside. However, the unique design, look, and shape of the J. Novo thinned wooden headjoint for the concert flute was invented by Mr. Novo in 1983. The J. Novo headjoint is the "Real McCoy". The Original. All other wooden headjoints that resemble it are imitations. Moreover, the unique design and shape of the bore and the embouchure hole (which you can’t see) are two special features that make the J. Novo headjoint play better than all other imitations on the market today. Please beware of cheap, mass-produced copies that are made from inferior quality wood, have silver plated tenon tubes, and come with no warranty against cracks. Every J. Novo headjoint is hand made from premium grade Grenadilla wood and is fitted with a sterling silver tenon tube. And most importantly, every J. Novo wood headjoint comes with a full one year warranty against cracks. Please keep these important facts in mind as you shop for a wooden headjoint. Why settle for a copy when you can have an original!

     No matter how good the deal sounds, always insist on a one year crack warranty to protect your investment.

"The bitterness of poor quality will linger long after the sweetness of a low price has vanished".

                                               Every J. Novo headjoint is entirely made in the U.S.A.
