Details

This Sankyo head-joint is made of sterling silver with a 18k gold riser and comes with the RT-1 cut and lip plate design. Sankyo’s RT-family of flute head-joints is a modified version of the original Sankyo wave-style lip plate design, the RT style is characterized by a full, dark, strong tone with impressive clarity and secure response. The RT style provides the freedom to achieve a very solid, powerful sound with an endless capacity for the airstream. The gold riser brings a more complex and colorful sound to the headjoint style by expanding the harmonic range.

Each instrument is made from carefully selected materials (even 24K gold and platinum) and is constructed by highly skilled and dedicated craftsmen.

Fitting this Sankyo headjoint to your flute

There are no global standards for the size of the connection between headjoint and flute. Even flutes and headjoints of the same brand will not always fit perfectly. Fortunately, our flute repairman can make almost any headjoint fit your flute. This service is free of charge, but for this we need your flute in our shop to fit.
