The Standard Model features the Nagahara Scale, industry-standard specifications, and a special thumb-key design. The Full Concert Model features an enlarged bore and toneholes size, elongated headjoint for greater taper, and the “Nagahara FC System” scale all designed by Kanichi Nagahara. It is a revolutionary design offered exclusively by Nagahara Flutes enabling improvements in tone, resonance, dynamic range, and intonation control. This model also features the Nagahara Pinless mechanism and thumb key design. The Galway model flute includes the following features: a Galway model headjoint, No Gizmo Key (added upon request), Nagahara Pinless mechanism, and the Wearless Mechanism (Type II). A special key design was also created for this model, enhancing finger grip over the key-cups and adding an extra touch of elegance.
Nagahara Flutes offers 6 different headjoint cuts:
- Diligente (D) - Most resistant cut with tallest riser wall height; produces a dark and centered core tone. Great response in lower register notes; requires more air support for long or pianissimo phrases.
- Ardore (A) - Bright, open sound & free-blowing feel. Embodies the American Flute sound with much vibrancy and strength in the sound; widest cut we offer with lowest riser wall height.
- Spianato (S) - Traditional, more conservative cut for smaller ensemble playing. A bit more oval in shape; made to portray a soft and sweet sounding voice.
- DA - A cross between the “Diligente” and “Ardore” cut. Even flexibility & resistance throughout all registers. The most popular cut selection among flutists of all levels offering a great mixture and balance of warmth, vibrancy, color change, and clear articulation.
- DS - A cross between the “Diligente” and “Spianato” cut. Medium resistance with a more delicate and sweet sound. Great for chamber ensemble playing.
- Galway (G) - Made with a unique lip plate design that enhances projection power and embodies the vibrant sound Sir James Galway is known & praised for. Provides flexibility & clean articulation with ease through all registers.
NOTE: Not every sub-model is available in every material, however our website does accurately display what model combinations are possible.
