Tomasi Series 09 Flute
Description
Tomasi Series 09 Flute
Open Hole - B Foot - SilverLight (Ag .835) Head Joint - Silver Plated Body
The primary feature of the Tomasi Series 09 line of flutes is a head joint made with SilverLight (Ag .835), a step-up from the silver-plated head joints of the Series 06 and 07 flutes. SilverLight is a silver alloy that is slightly harder and lighter compared to .925 sterling silver, making it an ideal mid-range option for advancing students ready for an upgrade from a silver-plated head joint.
The Tomasi Series 09 collection also offers additional mouth plate and riser material options, making it possible to further customize your flute to fit your needs. Available mouth plate options are .925 Sterling Silver lip plate and riser, Grenadilla Wood lip plate and riser, Olive Wood lip plate and riser, and .925 Sterling Silver lip plate with 14K Gold riser.

Its aural and visual aesthetic is evocative of traditional wooden flutes of the Baroque era, with the additional durability and resonant power made possible through its combination with modern metal body components. Another excellent alternative for players with nickel allergies or skin sensitivities.
