Chris Abell Wood Headjoint in Grenadilla Wood New
- Handmade grenadilla wood headjoint
- Silver tenons and rings
- Handmade in USA
The Abell Headjoint is available in two cuts:
- S-Cut (Standard) or O-Cut (Oval).
The Standard model has a rectangular shape and is modern in its design and response. It speaks easily through the full range of the flute and produces a bright, open sound. This style headjoint is designed primarily to play comfortably in large ensembles and orchestral work, though it is not limited only to those venues.
The Oval model has a slightly smaller, elliptical shaped embouchure and is designed especially for small ensemble and chamber music where a more intimate sound is required. This style headjoint also plays easily through the full range of the flute and produces a very clear, centered tone with an especially dark and pungent quality in the lower registers.
