Description
The JFL700EC Flute is an excellent choice for students in their first few years of playing or those progressing through the early grades of study. Its easy playability and warm tone make it an ideal starting point for developing proper technique and building confidence.
Effortless Playability:
The Genesis headjoint features a wide riser angle, which reduces the resistance commonly found in other flutes, allowing for an immediate response. This means that even beginners can produce sound with minimal effort, making it easier for them to start playing confidently and develop the necessary embouchure for good tone production.
Embouchure Comfort:
The specially formed lip plate of the Genesis headjoint helps players achieve a comfortable and natural embouchure placement. This thoughtfully designed feature ensures that the flute feels natural in the player’s hands and mouth, reducing strain and supporting relaxed posture while playing. For young students or those just starting, this design is essential in maintaining proper form, preventing tension, and avoiding discomfort.
Expressive and Open Tone Quality:
The wider riser angle of the Genesis headjoint not only enhances response but also improves tone quality, promoting a more expressive and open sound. This feature encourages students to explore their musicality and develop a well-rounded tone from the outset, making it easier to experiment with dynamics and phrasing.
Body Material: Silver-Plated Nickel Silver Body
The body of the JFL700 is made from silver-plated nickel silver, which provides a bright, clear tone while being lightweight and durable. This material is also resistant to corrosion, ensuring that the flute remains in good condition even with frequent use. The silver plating gives the instrument a polished finish that is both aesthetically pleasing and easy to maintain.
Headjoint: Silver-Plated Genesis Headjoint
The flute’s Genesis headjoint is a key element in the JFL700’s success. Silver-plated and specifically designed with a sterling silver riser, this headjoint produces a warm and rich tone, allowing the player to develop a beautiful sound early on. The design of the headjoint also improves the flute’s air response, which is important for young players as they build their embouchure and breath control.
Key Material: Silver-Plated Nickel Silver Keys
The keys are constructed from silver-plated nickel silver, offering durability while contributing to the flute’s bright and clear tonal quality. This combination of materials ensures that the keys are resistant to wear, ensuring smooth action throughout the flute’s life. The silver-plating also makes them resistant to tarnishing, which can affect the performance of the instrument over time.
Key Systems: Offset G
The Offset G key allows for a more ergonomic hand position, reducing the tension in the player’s hands and wrists. This system helps prevent fatigue during extended playing sessions, making it more comfortable for beginners to focus on their technique rather than adjusting their hand position. The offset design ensures that the keys are positioned at a more natural angle for the player, making them easier to reach.
Key Type: Plateau Keys
The plateau keys (also known as closed-hole keys) provide a more secure seal between the pads and the flute’s body, which is especially beneficial for beginners. The closed-hole design helps prevent accidental key leaks and offers a more consistent sound. Additionally, plateau keys make it easier for new players to focus on finger positioning and hand placement without having to worry about the complexities of open-hole keys.
E Mechanism: Split E Mechanism
The split E mechanism is an essential feature for improving the response and tuning of high E notes. This mechanism ensures a more stable and accurate sound in the upper register, which is often a challenging area for beginner flautists. With the split E mechanism, students can confidently play the high E note without sacrificing tone quality or intonation.
Adjustable Screw Design: Hidden Adjustment Screws
The flute is designed with hidden adjustment screws, maintaining a sleek appearance while providing precise key alignment. These screws allow a technician to make minor adjustments to the flute’s mechanism when needed without affecting its visual design. This feature ensures that the flute remains functional and in top condition throughout its use, allowing it to grow with the player.
Body Joint: Ribbed Construction
The ribbed construction of the body joint ensures that the flute is more durable and stable. The ribbing provides extra support, reducing the chances of misalignments in the key system over time. It also allows for smoother operation of the keys, enhancing the flute’s overall responsiveness.
