Drelinger Karritium® Max Flute Head joint with platinum Air Reed. Non-slip beautifully engraved lip plate. The Air Reed is built into the inner edge of the tone hole so that when air travels across it, a beautiful crisp sound is produced. Karritium: Has a fluid rounded tone with faster response and better articulation. Can be fitted to your regular C flute by a professional flute technician. The headjoint was resized by Mr Drelinger to fit my Mateki flute Takeuchi model 031RH. Thickness of tubing wall .014 Diameter .779 DVD. 19.79mm. Sandy Drelinger quote: "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" .
