I’ve adored playing this over the years. I paired this with an Altus 807, followed by an Altus AL. Both of which paired very well and played beautifully. I’ve recently changed set up and no longer use this. I do not recall the cut of this headjoint, but by comparison to current Miguel Arista HJs listed at Just Flutes this looks like the classic cut (LII). In any case, it is a wonderful addition to any set up.

I’m selling a brand new Brannen-Cooper Epoch silver headjoint. It was purchased together with my new flute from Just Flutes, London around Christmas. At the same time, I invested in a different headjoint with gold and although this one is absolutely beautiful and produces a stunning sound, I decided to stay with one consistent setup rather than switching between headjoints.
