Drelinger Karritium® Max Flute Head joint with platinum Air Reed. Non-slip beautifully engraved lip plate. Karritium: Has a faster response, allows for more of a precise articulation and creates beautifully rounded tone similar to gold. Head joint was resized by Mr Drelinger to fit Mateki flute Takeuchi model 031RH. Thickness of tubing wall .014 Diameter .779 DVD. 19.79mm. Can be Resized to fit your regular C flute by a professional technician. "Some years ago I asked myself if a precious metal formulation could be developed based on acoustical merit, rather than ease of availability. I did a great deal of research and development, experimenting by combining various proportions of gold and silver with other metals in search of an acoustically superior combination that would provide a timbre of extraordinary variety. The Drelinger proprietory formulation that evolved from this work came to be known as Karritium®. Unlike plated or fused topical applications of gold to silver, Karritium® is solid throughout. As you would expect, Karritium® is not easily produced, but we feel the results are worth the effort. Karritium® is, however, considerably less expensive than our gold headjoints and has found a devoted following who prefer it to all other precious metals. While Karritium® is ideal" ~ Sandy Drelinger
