This headjoint was upgraded by Gary Lewis with an embouchure crafted by Nicholas Crabb, a flutemaker in the United Kingdom. With a Crabb embouchure, this Yamaha EC headjoint transformed from very good to phenomenal. You will find it very responsive and easy to play in all dynamics and in all registers. It has a very lyrical and fluid quality that we don’t often see in Yamaha headjoints. With a focused airstream, you can really get it to sing and project across the hall.

If you’re looking to upgrade your flute, give this one a try. With this headjoint, you may find that upgrading your entire setup isn’t at all necessary. It will bring out the full tonal potential of nearly any flute!
