Today I’ve partnered with the Flute Center of New York to see if you can hear the difference that gold makes on a headjoint. First, I will play a professional model sterling silver Lillian Burkart flute. This headjoint is all silver: crown, lip plate, riser, and tube.

Then I will change headjoints and demonstrate the sound with the following:
1. 14K gold riser
2. 14K gold riser and lip plate
3. 14K gold riser, lip plate, crown, and tube

I played a bit from the Mozart Concerto in G on all 4 headjoints – then put those 4 clips together at the end so you can compare side-by-side. I could definitely hear the differences. Can you?

11:57 All Silver
12:06 Gold Riser
12:16 Gold Lip Plate
12:26 All Gold

Have fun!
