The Swan Neck Headjoint
The Vertical Headjoint

What it is
The Swan Neck Headjoint is a flute headjoint that has a bend of approximately 40 degrees. It is handmade from sterling silver, with a handcut embouchure. It comes in a small, very light instrument case, which also contains a thumb rest. The thumb rest simply clicks on your flute and you can leave it there.

What it does
The Swan Neck Headjoint turns the strenuous position for playing the flute into a relaxed one. With the Swan Neck Headjoint, you will feel much less stress on your right shoulder, your neck and your left shoulder. The Swan Neck Headjoint takes your flute out of the danger zone and brings it into the easy zone.

What it feels like
Easy, Relaxed, Effortless, No pain. There is also a feel of solidness to the Swan Neck Headjoint. When you play an ordinary flute, the asymmetry in your posture goes right down to your feet. When you play a swan neck flute, you will feel your feet planted firmly to the ground.


The logic of The Vertical Headjoint is so self-evident, it needs no explanation. Have you ever noted the easy playing position of clarinet and recorder. We are providing The Vertical Headjoint because flutists who thought they would never play the flute again, are now playing every day-thanks to The Vertical Headjoint.

The Vertical Headjoint for flute is handcrafted from sterling silver with a handcut embouchure. It comes in a
sturdy wooden box, with a thumb rest and if neccesary, a left hand support. The top part of The Vertical Headjoint can be adjusted to suit your playing style. The set contains all you need to convert your flute
into a vertical flute. All it takes is to snap on the hand rests and slide the headjoint into the tenon.
