ORION OFL1160S-C Closed Hole Curved Head Flute Silver Plated Student
NEW MODEL - Improved lip plate
ORION Brass & Woodwind
The OFL1160S-C flute is a meticulously crafted student-level instrument, identical to the OFL1152S model, but enhanced with a custom curved headjoint for improved playability. This design allows for effortless air flow, producing a full-bodied, responsive sound. With impressive projection and exceptional stability, this flute offers a rich tonal quality suitable for a student as well as an intermediate player. The OFL1160S-C also includes a custom case tailored to fit both the curved and straight headjoint and the body.
Pointed & French Keys
The flute features pointed key arms for Bb, F#, and other non-fingered keys, reflecting a beautiful design inspired by traditional European craftsmanship.
All Silver-Plated Body Construction
The OFL1160S-C has a silver-plated body to bring a traditional brightness to its overall tonal quality.
Ribbed Structure
The ribbed body construction enhances the durability of the flute by reinforcing the posts. This added material increases the likelihood of withstanding accidental impacts, making the flute more resilient and better able to endure potential damage.
Student-Friendly Features
- Closed Hole Keys: Designed to simplify the learning process, closed hole keys reduce the complexity for beginners.
- Offset G Key: The offset G key promotes a more natural hand position by shifting the left ring finger outward, making it easier and more comfortable for beginners to play.
- Split E Mechanism: This feature assists student players in reaching higher octaves with greater accuracy and ease, particularly beneficial when playing the challenging third register E.
- Ribbed Construction: This design strengthens the posts of the flute, providing enhanced durability against potential damage from new players. As a result, this flute is better equipped to withstand impacts and is more likely to be repairable if any issues arise.
