    This ultra-thin acrylic headjoint is made from
    industrial grade, crystal clear, cast acrylic rod, the same material that is used in some telecommunication fiber optic systems. This high quality transparent crystal clear material was chosen for optimal illumination purposes since the headjoint can be illuminated during performance with either the light system that it comes with (see pictures), or with a light system of your choice .
    Detailed care instructions are provided with the headjoint. Other High-quality Features Include:
    Sterling Silver Tenon Tube (see "The Importance of a Proper Fit" below.)
    Nickel silver (German silver) End Bands
    Pro cut Embouchure Hole
    Professional Parabolic Bore

    get a big, beautiful sound
    and master those difficult high notes.

    .

    (P.S. If you're not a flutist, this beautiful acrylic headjoint makes a great surprise gift for that special flutist in your life!)
    The secret to having a big, gorgeous, and beautiful flute sound is no longer a secret thanks to Mr. Juan Novo, maker of the world
    renowned
    J. Novo ultra-thin wooden flute headjoint.
    Controlled scientific tests have finally confirmed that 95 – 98% of the tone color of the flute (the “sound” of the flute) is produced only by the headjoint and by the headjoint alone. The headjoint, therefore, is the most important part of the flute in regards to how the flute will sound when it is played. Thus, the headjoint is the heart of the flute. It is through the headjoint that the air column inside the flute is energized, set on fire, and brought to life in a musical phrase
    .
    Many flutists have discovered that nothing beats the big and rich sound of a wooden flute, and as Mr. Novo has repeatedly proven, a wooden headjoint on a metal flute
    will produce the same tonal quality of sound as a flute made entirely of wood. However, this acrylic headjoint produces a sound that can only be described by just one word:
    HEAVENLY!
    If you are looking for a
    new adventure in sound, great articulation, and an easy to play high register, this is the headjoint for you.
    It can also be illuminated during performance for that extra kick!
    Theobald Boehm, inventor of the flute

    RETURNS AND FITTING WORK
    RETURNS
    : All return requests must be made directly to us within 7 days of receipt. If you are not satisfied with your new J. Novo headjoint and you change your mind about keeping it, we will gladly refund only the purchase price. All shipping and insurance charges and the fitting fee will not be refunded. U.S.A. sales only. All shipping/insurance charges will be paid by the buyer (headjoint must be properly insured). Headjoint must be returned directly to us via USPS mail, accompanied by a tracking number, and must be mailed back to us no later than 7 days after you receive it. This means you have an entire week (7 days) to play your new J. Novo headjoint and decide if you want to keep it or not. Please contact us within the 7 day period to notify us of the return, if that is what you decide, so we can process your return and refund. The returned headjoint must not be damaged, cracked, or altered in any way and all conditions of the return policy must be met in order to qualify for the purchase price refund. Once the headjoint is received, inspected, and approved by us (usually within 2-3 business days of receipt), your refund will be processed. However, if the headjoint is found to be damaged, cracked, and/or altered in any way, it will be returned to the buyer and no refund will be issued. In the unlikely event that a headjoint is damaged in transit, we require phone notification within 3 days of your receipt. A timely claim must also be made by the buyer to the carrier responsible for the shipment. If a return request is not made to us within 7 days of receipt, the sale becomes final. NOTE: Returns will not be allowed if the fitting work was done by someone else and not by us.
    FITTINGS & WARRANTY
    :
    The winning bidder has the option of having this headjoint fitted to his/her flute by either us or by someone else. If we do the fitting, the headjoint will be properly fitted to winning bidder's flute
    .
    If the fitting is done by someone else, the headjoint will not be returnable since the headjoint may be damaged during the fitting process if not done properly. There is a $ 30.00 non-refundable fee for fitting the headjoint to your flute. Please see shipping info below. Each headjoint comes with detailed care instructions.
    A NOTE ON USING GIMMICKS TO
    IMPROVE YOUR METAL HEADJOINT
    There are several products being sold today that claim to improve or enhance the performance of the metal headjoint that comes with a metal flute (silver, gold, etc). Some of these are gimmicks that really don’t do very much, and yet there are some that do improve the playability of the metal headjoint to some degree and it is these that I want to talk about here. Even though this “improvement” is mainly felt and experienced only by the player (because the headjoint is so close to the player’s ear) and not by the audience the player is playing to, it nevertheless is a good thing since it helps the player to enjoy his playing experience more than he had before.
    HOWEVER, there is a BIG problem here, and it is this: THE PLAYER IS STILL STUCK WITH THE SOUND COMING FROM A METAL HEADJOINT! So, no matter how much the metal headjoint may or can be improved by whatever means: a different crown, stopper, cork replacement resonator,
    whatever it may be,
    the headjoint is still going to sound like a metal headjoint
    with shrill high notes and wispy low registers. Please keep this reality in mind as you search for a better sounding headjoint.

    SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS
    :
    Buyer pays shipping and insurance.
    If you do not want to send us your flute for the fitting work (not recommended), the cost to send you the headjoint will depend on your location. (NOTE: headjoints not fitted by us are not returnable.) However, if you decide to send us your flute for the fitting work (highly recommended), you will have to pay for shipping and insurance to send us your flute and also for returning the flute with the new fitted headjoint. The amount to send to cover the return shipping and insurance will depend on your location and the cost of insurance to cover the actual value of your flute and the new headjoint. Shipping cost for international buyers will depend on location and insurance for sending the headjoint alone. Headjoints will not be shipped without proper insurance. Serious bidders only please. NOTE: headjoint may take 2-3 weeks for delivery. Entirely made in the U.S.A.
