Mike Allen Handmade Alto Head Joint

About

Elegant, handmade .925 silver head joints, with individual stone crowns. Mike Allen hand engraves his lip plates with floral designs to provide a better grip for the player. Each aspect of Mike Allen’s handcrafted head joints is meticulously crafted and perfected by him, delivering a concise sound enriched with a wealth of tonal colours. These head joints are perfect for upgrading your silver-plated alto head joint to step up your alto flute playing.

Michael Allen

Mike trained as a silver/gold smith and jeweller. A keen amateur flute player, he had a passion for custom-made instruments which led him to begin working on instruments in the all flutes plus workshop for Trevor James. He later established his own business crafting flutes and head joints and is a highly regarded British flute maker.

Head Joint Testing

Headjoints can radically enhance the sound of most flutes. With a vast array of headpieces made by several respected flute makers worldwide, each one differs by its embouchure cut, lip plate and material. Each head joint offers different qualities including wide-ranging tonal colours, projection, more/less resistance and ease of articulation. Headjoint choices are entirely subjective!

Please note that whilst these head joints are for sale, we advise you to try them before you buy! Head joints come in lots of shapes and sizes. It is therefore recommended that you try the head joint either in our testing room at All Flutes Plus or by pre-arranged trial within the comfort of your own home.
