This headjoint took me through my Masters degree at the Royal College of Music, but I’ve recently bought a new flute and can sadly no longer play it. &#13;
&#13;
It’s made from a patented special silver alloy, has a seamed tube, and an LII embouchure cut. It was originally bought from Just Flutes in November 2023. &#13;
&#13;
“Miguel Arista sources this unique metal through a special supplier. The exact metal composition is confidential, but we cannot deny the result. These headjoints are capable of producing an extremely alluring tone, giving the player a completely new palette of tone colours to explore” – Flutes &amp; Flutists, Australia &#13;

I have absolutely loved playing this headjoint. It has an incredibly quick response, making fast articulation effortless, and it offers great resistance that allows you to push your dynamics from a delicate pianissimo to a powerful fortissimo without losing focus or cracking the note.&#13;
The headjoint has been meticulously cared for, professionally maintained, and is in flawless excellent condition. &#13;
No dents, no scratches on the lip plate, and the tenon is in perfect shape.</description><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jul 2026 13:30:19 +0100</pubDate><link>https://www.musicalchairs.info/sales/20850</link><guid>https://www.musicalchairs.info/sales/20850</guid></item><item><title>Solo Piccolo (with obligation to 2nd soloist flute)</title><description>OBV is looking for a Solo Piccolo (with obligation to 2nd soloist flute)&#13;

I am the 2nd owner of the flute.  My hand is no longer comfortable playing in line so I decided it should be sold to someone who can play and appreciate the vintage Powell sound.  This flute was serviced last spring and hasn’t been played since.   The flute is located in Vienna Austria.  I will also have it available to play at NFA in Portland early August.

The flute is handmade Stirling silver with 0.016 tube thickness and Levit’s Modified Acoustic. The headjoint has a 14K gold riser and was cut by Bick Brannen (it is engraved BWB under the lip plate). &#13;
The flute plays beautifully but I simply no longer make use of the kingma system (in my career these days microtones are usually unintended…) and cannot justify holding on to the flute any longer - it deserves to be played and loved! &#13;
The instrument can be trialled at my home in east London. &#13;
