Orpheo flutes define a unique category all their own in the woodwind world. Our lofty ambition was to create the highest standard of sound, with meticulous workmanship and superb intonation. Through the advantages of a hand-cut headjoint, adoption of the Cooper scale, and using extra-firm, double-skin pads, we have exceeded this goal.
Every Orpheo model has French pointed arms, once considered the exclusive domain of expensive, handmade flutes. French pointed arms afford unmatched accuracy and agile response.
When matched with our unrivaled mechanism and hand-cut headjoints, the cumulative effect is like no other flute, regardless of price.
Each Orpheo model is designed for solid intonation and a stunning sound. Each has brilliant resonance, with marvelous rich overtones and the widest dynamic range.
