Myth: All head joints are essentially the same.

Truth: Heads are like shoes: each model is different, and most aren't your size.

Welcome to our head joints section. Please take time to study our information on finding head joints that fit you and your playing style. We've found a few things, after 30 years of practice, that will help players choose the right head for them.

For budgets that don't allow a new instrument, a good custom head will often do 80% of the job for 20% of the cost. A custom head will also flesh out a professional flute in a way the original stock head never will. Here at Landell Flutes we build head joints for ay kind of player, from passive to aggressive, and we do mean "head joints", plural. Especially in the choice of stock heads, the unfortunate rule in the business today is monotony; excluding the more bizarre designs, there is a definite lack of variety in the high-performance head market. We are an exception, offering hundreds of graded models and material combinations, and fitting them with a thorough and methodical selection process. As a service, we offer general advice in a Matchmaker tutorial, which matches your personal playing style/preference to your correct head joint configuration. Try it out, if only for your own education.
