Briccialdi Student Model Flute 203

DR TOOT Brass & Woodwind Specialist are proud to present a brand new Briccialdi flute “Student Model 203” from Italy directly.

Although this is their Student Model flute, it has many professional features not found on other student model flutes. It's been a very popular Student Model flutes since we have imported in September 2017. Our customers, who purchased the flute, have found that the flute is free blowing, has a great tone, and excellent tuning.

Now the headjoint has been improved and it comes with a titanium crown and a normal head cork. 

Materials:  German silver plated keys, headjoint, body and foot joint

Drawn and Rolled Tone Holes:  Constructed from the flute tube itself.  The flute has slightly less metal and weight than a flute with soldered tone holes. 

Titanium Crown:  It is made of TITANIUM, oxidation resistant almost as platinum, extraordinary hardness/weight ratio. It weights about 40% less than steel but with similar resistance.  

Footjoint:  C foot

E-Mechanism:  A split E mechanism allows venting only one G key while fingering high E. This facilitates production of the high E and it provides a more stable response.

Pads:  Italian Pisoni Deluxe J Yellow pads – double yellow bladder, pressed felt special treatment. 

Pad Resonators:  Similar to these found on Muramatsu, Sankyo, Miyazawa and other professional flutes.

Open Holes with Plugs:  Central openings are covered by the fingertips when depressed. Students may use temporary plugs (supplied) to cover the holes in the keys until they master the more precise finger placement needed to play open-hole keys. Some players state that open-hole keys permit louder and clearer sound projection in the flute’s lower register. Open holes can be used for effects such as bending and shading, and the player can crack some holes to bring pitch backup when playing softly on high register notes. Playing open holes requires and therefore develops fingering accuracy that is not essential on plateau keys. Some clever trills that make use of the open hole venting for better pitch. 

Offset G:  The G keys are offset slightly from the rest of the keys, mounted on their own posts, separate from the other keys. A growing number of flutists prefer the comfort and hand position on the offset G flute.

Angled G# Key:  Similar to Muramatsu flutes.

French Pointed Arms:  A key design that connects keys to the rod with a raised, pointed arm which extends to the centre of the key. Also referred as "Styled keys". It gives more strength to the keys.
