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.

Lip Plate and Riser Varieties

Sterling Silver (Model TFL-09-SI-B): Reliable and versatile in tonality, the solid sterling silver lip plate and riser evoke the characteristically elegant sound that any flute player will appreciate. Silver, the most prevailing material for crafting flutes, produces a beautifully resonant and focused tone that flute lovers expect. Its sophisticated timbre and abundant overtones make it suitable for any flautist's needs. 

Grenadilla Wood (Model TFL-09-GR-B): Experience a luxurious and powerful timbre with ease using a Grenadilla wood lip plate and riser. Its rich tone quality will project through an ensemble with little effort. Its natural density makes it highly forgiving for players that struggle to produce a colorful sound with a metal mouth plate. A perfect alternative for players with nickel allergies or skin sensitivities.

Olive Wood (Model TFL-09L-OL-B): Ethereal and smooth in timbre, Olive wood's varying grain structure lends complexity and moderate overtone characteristics to your sound. 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.

Sterling Silver/14K Gold (Model TFL-09-GO-B): Experience the effortlessly powerful sound production and enhanced tonal qualities of the sterling silver lip plate with upgraded 14K gold riser. The distinct hardness of gold facilitates a smooth and direct tone response, resulting in a rich, robust sound with limitless potential for dynamic expression. Ideal for a charismatic player seeking access to an elevated array of musical colors.
