• Multi-Coat Plating refers to a special plating process that we use to enhance the tone quality of our instruments.
• The tone will be fuller and richer at all dynamic levels.
• Offset G Key is important for young players because it allows for a small hand to reach the G key with greater ease .
• Split E Mechanism is intended to improve the pitch and control of the high E.  This note is problematic for most flutists and is corrected by having a split E key mechanism. Available on our offset G type design flutes. The split E mechanism closes off the upper G keys, which in turn forces the air to flow through the lower tone hole. This process of redirecting the airflow will improve the centering of the pitch and the overall control of the note.
