FLIPHEAD FAQ
frequently asked questions
Funktioniert der Fliphead mit meiner Flöte?
Der Fliphead funktioniert mit Querflöten-Korpussen aller gängigen Hersteller (bspw Yamaha, Pearl, Jupiter, Sankyo, Azumi u.v.a.). Auch H-Fuß-Flöten können mit dem Fliphead gespielt werden. Der Fliphead ist nicht für die Nutzung mit Alt-Flöten oder Piccolo-Flöten gebaut. Wie bei jedem neuen Flötenkopf, benötigt der Fliphead je nach Flötenmodell unter Umständen eine individuelle Anpassung. Das Rohr des Flipheads wird mit einem Aussendurchmesser von ca 19,8 mm ausgeliefert. Üblicherweise haben Querflöten einen Innendurchmesser von 19,7 - 20,00 mm. Wenn der Fliphead zu fest or zu locker sitzen sollte, kann ein Blasinstrumetenmacher oder die Fachabteilung im Musikgeschäft diese Anpassungen und wenigen Minuten übernehmen. Der Fliphead sollte fest sitzten, sich aber trotzdem zur Feinjustierung der Intonantion noch bewegen lassen.
Wie stimme ich die Flöte?
Wie beim herkömmlichen Flötenkopf, wird auch der Fliphead durch Rein- & Rausziehen des Rohres am Flötenkorpus gestimmt.
Kann ich das Mundstück drehen?
Wie verwende ich den Daumenhaken?
Der Daumenhaken wird einfach auf die Flöte geclippt und lässt sich in alle Richtungen verschieben.
Was unterscheidet den Fliphead vom normalen Flötenkopf?
Der normale Silberkopf und der Fliphead sind zwei ganz unterschiedliche Mundstücke und haben beide eigene Klangcharakteristen und spezifische Vor- & Nachteile.
Kann ich alle Register der Querflöte spielen?
Aus welchem Material wird der Fliphead hergestellt?
Wie kann ich den Fliphead reinigen?
Das Mundstück lässt sich vom Rohr abziehen und mit Wasser reinigen. Bitte keine alkohol-basierten Reinigungsmittel verwenden! Falls sich bei der Reinigung die Dichtungsringe lösen, so lassen sich diese einfach wieder in ihre Position zurückschieben.

5.1 Use of Youtube Videos
This website uses the YouTube embedding function for display and playback of videos offered by the provider YouTube, which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 ESW5, Ireland ("Google").
To this end, the extended data protection mode is used to ensure, according to provider information, that user information will only be stored once the playback function of the video is started. When the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider sets "YouTube" cookies in order to collect information about user behavior. According to indications from YouTube, the use of those cookies is intended, among other things, to record video statistics, to improve user-friendliness and to avoid improper actions. If you are logged in to Google, your information will be directly associated with your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. Google saves your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation takes place in particular according to Art. 5 (1) point f GDPR, on the basis of the legitimate interests of Google in the insertion of personalized advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. When using YouTube, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Regardless of whether the embedded video is played back, a connection to the Google network "double click" is established when visiting this website. This may trigger further data processing beyond our control.
Further information on YouTube data protection can be found in the provider's data protection statement at: www.google.com/policies/privacy/
To the extent required by law, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data as described in accordance with Art. 5 (1) point a GDPR.
