Brio! flutes feature a headjoint
designed by Dana Sheridan, renowned headjoint maker working
exclusively with Gemeinhardt Flutes. The Dana Sheridan Series
brings the expertise of Dana Sheridan together with the manufacturing
legacy of Kurt Gemeinhardt.
For more than 30 years Dana Sheridan has been refining his
craft of creating flutes and headjoints. His designs combine
the knowledge and technical excellence gained working with
the professional flute makers of Boston, Massachusetts before
becoming an independent maker.
The Dana Sheridan Series of headjoints is premiered with Gemeinhardt
Flutes through the launch of the Brio! flute line. Brio! flutes
feature the sterling silver headjoint that is the culmination
of a collaboration between Dana Sheridan and craftsmen and
engineers of Gemeinhardt. This design provides a free-blowing
but focused headjoint to enable flutists to achieve the sound
colors their increasing musicianship demands.
When the perfect headjoint design was finalized, the responsibility
for hand-cutting each Sheridan Series Brio! headjoint transferred
to Tom Lacy. Working as a master craftsman with Gemeinhardt,
Tom is an internationally recognized flutemaker who produces
his own line of custom professional instruments. Hand-cutting
each Sheridan Series headjoint, Tom Lacy's craftsmanship is
a part of every Brio! flute.
Brio! flutes feature the Sheridan Series Headjoint for a sound
that will move players to new levels of performance. |
