ABSTRACT:
A flute headjoint having a lip plate in which a portion of the blow edge is stepped to impart different heights to the blow hole. The blow hole has an inward protrusion beginning at the blow edge and extending the height of the blow hole to impart a region of narrower transverse dimension to the blow hole. Either feature, or both together, improve upper register performance. The edge of the lip plate opposite the lip rest surface is swept back toward the lip rest surface to minimize obstruction of excessive air flow. The blow hole features are incorporated in a piccolo embouchure including a tubular body of two halves.
