Features

CY Headjoint

All key shapes and placements have been ergonomically designed to ensure a comfortable, natural playing experience. The manufacturing processes have been completely overhauled to achieve significantly improved precision, enhancing mechanical accuracy and reducing the need for readjustments over time.

Pointed Key Arms

A#, F# and other non-fingered keys feature pointed key arms. This beautiful key design is inspired by traditional European style.

Specs

Toneholes	Drawn and Curled	Walls are drawn upward from the body material, giving the flute a broad, light sound.
Key Types	Ring (French) Keys	Many advanced players prefer the open feel of Ring keys for greater tonal control. Intermediate and standard model French system flutes come with key plugs to seal the holes until players gain proficiency in covering them with their fingers.
Key Systems	Offset G	Many players find the Offset G configuration easier to play, which is why teachers often recommend it for beginners. This natural-feeling design is increasingly popular among advanced players as well.
Split E Mechanism	Yes	This key enhances the stability and intonation of the high E.
Footjoints	B Footjoint	The B footjoint features an additional key that allows the player to reach notes a half step lower than those possible with the C foot. This design also influences the sound: the B footjoint produces a darker, more powerful tone with excellent projection.
