THE "UMBRA" MODEL HIGH D FLUTE
SORRY! THIS ITEM IS OUT OF STOCK AND DISCONTINUED.
"UMBRA" is made of black polymer and pitched in the key of high D (nontrans¬posing). There is easy control of loudness with its conical bore of 15/32" (12mm). As with all trans-verse (cross-blown) instruments, this model adds greater expression to an Irish session, or any band that plays traditional contradance music, for example. Also featured are profiled, undercut fingerholes; these bring out rich harmonics, free speaking, easy playing, crisp or-namentation and smooth transitions. Harmonic alignment (octave registration) is excellent, with an accurate scale on A=440.
"UMBRA"s parts are interchangeable with "BLACK PEARL" and the "TRIO", see below. The player can easily tune this 2-piece instrument by moving the slender tenon that slides in the head's internal o-rings (while other o-rings serve as tuning spacers). The head has an integral lip plate to thicken the wall at the embouchure hole. Cut with precision, that hole is shaped as a rounded rectangle for easy blowing. The head and body are machined in acetal (like Delrin), approved by the FDA. This material was chosen for performance, satisfaction, a beautiful finish, low maintenance, durability and affordability. The fingerholes are spaced evenly for the comfort of all players, especially those with large fingers. Laser engraving complements the fine workmanship. Lengths are 5.1" (head) and 7.7" (body) or 11.8" assembled (130, 196 and 300mm respectively). Head and body are interchangeable with "BLACK PEARL", also based on a 15/32" (12mm) bore.
