HANDMADE ULTRA-THIN WOODEN HEADJOINTS FOR CONCERT FLUTES AND PICCOLOS

The Secret Is Out!

It is no longer a secret that the flute’s tonal quality is produced 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. Controlled 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.

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 marvelous, rich, and full 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 much 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 Symphony Orchestra), 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.

Warning

Beware of cheap mass-produced copies, mostly made in China, that have a silver plated tenon tube, inferior quality wood, and no warranty against cracks.

All of our headjoints are entirely made by hand, from start to finish, by Mr. J. Novo. They come with a sterling silver tenon tube, are made from premium grade Grenadilla wood, and are backed by our unique one-year warranty against cracks.

Please beware of cheap imitations.
