Innovative & patented
mouth piece design

  • COMPLETE BUNDLE

    The Fliphead comes as a complete bundle with head joint, thumb rest and protective pouch. You can choose between our original Fliphead AM-1 mouthpiece or our lastest AM-2 "Flow"-model.

  • Compatible with all MODELS

    The Fliphead is an alternative head joint that works with all silver flute models. We also offer a complete bundle with the Fliphead and our entry level flute model.

  • ERGONOMIC THUMB REST

    When playing the flute vertically our clip on thumb rest is a helpful tool to balance the flute. The thumb rest is part of every bundle and can also be ordered as a single item.

01

TWO MOUTHPIECE MODELS

We offer 2 mouthpiece designs: the initial Fliphead AM-1 model and the AM-2 Flow model. Both pieces have their own sound and playing feel. They are interchangeable and can be used with the same neck. Our mouthpieces pieces are machined accurately in a one-piece-design (laser-sintered, not 3D-printed or injection-molded!). The material is very durable, scratchproof, biocompatible and has excellent sound qualities.

AM-1

MORE AIR, OPEN SOUND

The AM-1 mouthpiece has an open wind way and a large chamber producing an open and full sounding tone. You can push a lot of air through the mouthpiece, similar to an open saxophone mouthpiece or a low D Irish whistle. The mouthpiece has very little breath pressure resistance. You will need more breath to play the higher register compared to the AM-2. 

AM-2

LESS AIR, MORE RESISTANCE

The AM-2 „Flow“ mouthpiece has a narrow wind way and a smaller chamber resulting in less volume and more breath pressure resistance. You can play longer tones with one breath and the high register is easier to play. The low octave is rather soft comparable to an alto recorder. Beginners and classical flutists should try the AM-2 before switching to the AM-1.  

THE NEW STYLE
OF PLAYING THE FLUTE

innovative flute products for modern woodwindists

  • IDEAL FOR BEGINNERS

    The easy to learn embouchure makes the Fliphead ideal for beginners of all age, that will literally play the first scale in just a few minutes.

  • UNIQUE WHISTLE SOUND

    Experienced woodwind players enjoy the unique sound characteristic and folk flutists finally have a full chromatic low whistle that works in all keys.

  • DOUBLING ON FLUTE

    For sax players doubling on flute can be a hassle. Fliphead makes doubling on flute easy for sax-section in school bands, lab bands and jazz orchestras and big bands.

Feedback from our CUSTOMERS

  • Lifesaver for Reed Players

    The Fliphead opens up a whole new world of possibilities: It does not replace the conventional head joint but adds a new sound option. [...] I had it fitted to my flute and it plays simply amazing. It takes away the difficulty I'm having with the embouchure being a reed player. Love it! [...] Classical purists kill me now: It sounds better than the straight head :)

  • Finally, an affordable, chromatic, low Irish whistle!

    I enjoy playing Irish traditional music and always wanted a chromatic, low whistle. This Fliphead is fantastic! Hard to put down, I'm enjoying it so much. Brilliantly turns my Boehm flute into a low whistle and at a very affordable price. Not sure I'll be playing it with the transversehead ever again.

  • AWESOME!

    Fantastic when a 4th set flute part surfaces and your embouchure is fading! I'll probably still use the traditional headjoint for recording but it's great for live performances. [...] It fits my Yamaha flute like a glove and tunes easily. All three octaves are easily playable. If you look for a sound extension you will like the Fliphead!

  • Low whistle but chromatic scale (and better range)

    This is just so radical! Love the concept. Thus is not a flute replacement (you will get the hairy eyeball from your band instructor), but in many ways an upgrade to a low whistle. Irish music purists will cringe as the cranns, cuts, strikes and slides are very dependent on the way your fingers interact with the holes (open hole gets you halfway there). But now I can play a low whistle in any key I choose.

  • Excellent solution for embouchure and playing position issue

    I am a saxophonist and have always wanted to play flute as well. I am unable to make a good sound on a traditional head joint because of a peaked shaped upper lip and limited range of motion in my right arm due to an accident. The "Fliphead has solved both of these problems for me. Not only have I been able to get a great tone, but the new playing position is very comfortable for me. I been working with it for about 2 weeks and now I'm ready to take it out on a gig! Great Product!

  • Flute Purists: Kill me now

    Classical flute purists might want to kill me now: I prefer the Fliphead sound over the conventional flute head. So warm and fun to play. Thumbs up for this invention!
