This is a rare and early platinum headjoint made by Verne Powell. The craftsmanship on the embouchure is exquisite and precise. Although platinum headjoints are often known for their resistance, this one is relatively responsive and flexible. Yes, you will need a focused airstream to get the full range of colors out of it, but you can feel the notes come alive and respond to every nuanced embouchure change. It can also switch dynamics quickly without sacrificing sound quality.
