The JG3 Model Flutes are an exceptional step-up instrument. Reasonably priced with a hand-trimmed Sterling Silver head joint, this flute is an inspiration for the professional woodwind doubler or for the advancing student. Sterling Silver provides extra richness and depth to the tonal qualities of the flute. The flutist will have confidence that the flute s sound carries and that the beryllium springed mechanism delivers the action required of the most difficult technical passages.
