Product Information
A revolutionary invention by Geoffrey Guo, this new material, used for both the body and the keywork, has the most beneficial properties both mechanically and sound-wise. It has the power and warmth of gold and the richness of wood, has an incredible response in staccato and immense flexibility in colours. You can make it sound like a silver flute, or a wooden flute, a gold flute a baroque flute, just as the situation demands. What is even more amazing is the fact that it is practically unbreakable and virtually maintenance free because the stainless steel axles do not require any oil and the material is self lubricating. If it wasn't for the standard fish skin type pads one could virtually play it under water. It is now available with newly developed synthetic pads. This makes it also an ideal instrument for outdoor playing even in wet weather. This instrument is also sometimes used to perform the piccolo part in Ravel's piano concerto which lied extremely low on the piccolo.
